Where does the case go from here?
Siegelman has an appeal up for consideration by the U.S. Supreme Court, and a motion under consideration for a new trial. There is no way to know whether the Supreme Court will even hear his appeal, since the 11th Circuit already denied it. And it is hard to imagine the same judge who locked Siegelman up the first time will grant a new trial.
There is still an ongoing investigation before the House Judiciary Committee, a criminal probe and a civil case that could impact the outcome. When or if this clear injustice will ever be corrected is beyond prediction. Once can only hope and follow the case.
As for the fate of Richard Scrushy, Siegelman's co-defendant, your readers should know that the people of my home sweet home Alabama don't seem to care that he was convicted in the wrong case for the wrong thing. They hate him for how he mishandled the books and the stock at HealthSouth, and believe he should spend the rest of his life in jail and lose all of his considerable fortune.
