Where Justice Is a Game

The news last week that an innocent Alabama man who was subjected to a political prosecution by Karl Rove and his minions demonstrates well the state of the American justice system.

The American justice system is malfunctioning as the persecution of former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman continues.

A three-judge panel of the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit upheld most of the bribery and corruption against Siegelman who is without a doubt an innocent victim of a political prosecution.

We have seen too many political prosecutions in Wisconsin of the same corrupt nature during the Bush-Biskupic years: The proven-innocent Georgia Thompson (see also Biskupic tried to 'squeeze' Georgia Thompson), several overturned “voter fraud” cases (see also Voter-Fraud Complaints by GOP Drove Dismissals) and Wisconsin Navy veteran Keith Roberts (see also U.S. Attorneys Scandal–Milwaukee).

Numerous victims of the Bush justice department remain behind bars. Let's not forget them.
