Gov. Don Siegelman is still in prison and the BFEE judge who put him there is still a crook.

25. U.S. District Judge Mark E. Fuller

From DonSiegelman.org:

Chief Judge Mark E. Fuller,
U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Alabama
and President of Doss Aviation

Mark Fuller, was appointed by President Bush and is a former
member of the Executive Committee of the Alabama Republican
Party. He presided over the Siegelman trial and refused to
recuse himself as judge in spite of a serious conflict of interest
as president of Doss Aviation that has major contracts with the
Department of Justice. So Fuller's client, the DOJ, is the party
bringing the case against Siegelman. Judge Fuller not only
ignored the number of serious conflicts of interest in this case,
he also diminished and defended serious jury mis-conduct.

Mark Fuller is the judge to whom the case was "shopped" when
Judge Clemons of the Northern District Birmingham dismissed it.
In fact, moving the case out of the district in which it was initiated
so as to evade the control of the federal judge to whom it was
assigned was the first clear-cut sign of prosecutorial misconduct
in the history of the Siegelman prosecution.

Federal Judge Mark Fuller denied motions for a new trial that
were based on claims by Siegelman and Scrushy that jurors
discussed the case through e-mails during 2006 two-month trial.

Fuller, in December 2006 ruled that juror actions on the Internet
did not warrant throwing out the bribery convictions. {See
content of one of the e-mails in the left bar.)

After harsh sentencing of Don Siegelman, Fuller explained that
“I am convinced the conduct Gov. Siegelman engaged in
damaged the public’s confidence in the government of this
state,” Fuller said.
