WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorneys for imprisoned former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman called Monday for the Justice Department to bring in a special prosecutor after a key government witness was quoted as saying he was told to write out his testimony to "get his story straight."

Vince Kilborn, an attorney for the former Democratic governor who contends Republican politics was behind his prosecution, said the defense was never told of any written testimony by Nick Bailey, a former Siegelman aide whose testimony was crucial to the government.

In CBS's "60 Minutes" program Sunday, Bailey was quoted as saying prosecutors met with him some 70 times and had him repeatedly write out his testimony because they were frustrated with his recollection of events.

Alabama Democratic Party has also called for special prosecutor.
Anybody think that'll really happen?

It's outrageous!

at its very core - and Rove needed Siegelman occupied legally for years so he couldn't devote time to unraveling the election fraud that stole the 2002 race from him.

There will be a special prosecutor.

I think the repugs will continue to stonewall.
Maybe after the election?

I just think the publicity on this is near a tipping point.
I could be wrong.

Lend a hand, and steal these avatars:

Good luck, Vince. There IS NO "US Dept of Justice". There is only a "Keep The Cabal One Step Ahead of the Law Dept." All their energies are fully engaged stopping investigations.

this man an extra special birthday wish for Ron Singleman.

Isn't that standard Alabama lawyerly dress?

"In CBS's "60 Minutes" program Sunday, Bailey was quoted as saying prosecutors met with him some 70 times and had him repeatedly write out his testimony because they were frustrated with his recollection of events."

Is very Susan McDougal like.

I am not going to stop posting about this story and telling everyone who will listen to me until the man is free.
