Alabama politics and the latest Scrushy trial

scrushy7.jpgLet’s see if I can keep this straight.
This article about the beginning of jury selection for the upcoming bribery trial against former HealthSouth CEO Richard Scrushy and former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman reports that former Alabama Lieutenant Governor Bill Baxley represents one of the other co-defendants, former Siegelman cabinet member Mack Roberts.
Meanwhile, Siegelman is running for governor again and wants to be acquitted of the charges before the June 6th Alabama Democratic primary in which he is opposed by current Alabama Lieutenant Governor Lucy Baxley, who is the former wife of Roberts defense counsel Baxley.
I wonder if Ms. Baxley will be a character witness for Siegelman? ;^) Hat tip to Letter of Apology for the link.
