She did admit to being Eddie Curran’s secret source for most of the Press-Register stories.

Didn’t Claire Austin admit on the stand that she was funneling money for Young? I believe she did.

Ultimately Siegelman will not be redeemed – he is just too far gone. However, a number of other careers may go down in flames just like the Don’s.

Come on – did you expect a personality like Siegelman’s not to take others down with him?

Legs, this story has a millipede’s. Wonder if, “Don: a A Story of Redemption in Three Acts” will become a part of the rotation at ASF.

Claire Austin was Lanny Young’s business partner and she worked for both Sessions and Pryor–does that mean she was the bag man?

The key question here is whether there was a quid pro quo. Otherwise, we’re probably talking about a misdemeanor. Young said he had a standing agreement with Siegelman’s administration to help each other out. Did Young have any such agreement with Pryor or Sessions? Or perhaps the question is whether they asked. In the end, though, none of the Young-related counts returned convictions. The jury didn’t believe his testimony.

Danny – I agree that this story probably has legs. It is believed that “60 Minutes” is also preparing a story on Siegelman.
