Statement from Governor Don Siegelman on the Supreme Court’s Denial of his Petition [View all]

Statement from Governor Don Siegelman on the Supreme Court’s Denial of his Petition for Certiorari:

My heart is broken. Not for me, but for my family and friends who have stood by me during this struggle. I am eternally grateful for the work of my attorney Sam Heldman. I am indebted to the 113 state Attorneys General of both political parties who supported my case. And I am thankful for the law professors from around the nation who actively supported my appeal. I pray that something positive will come of this in our future.

Don Siegelman
Governor of Alabama 1999-2003
