Dana Siegelman, the daughter of former Gov. Don Siegelman, was released from a California hospital last week after being struck by a hit-and-run driver.

Les Siegelman, Dana Siegelman’s uncle and the former governor’s brother, said Monday Dana Siegelman was struck while biking home from her job on Nov. 16. According to the family, Dana Siegelman was wearing reflective gear at the time of the accident.

Marlene Arrona, a spokeswoman for the Long Beach Police Department, said Monday a hit-and-run collision took place at 5:20 p.m. on Nov. 16. The investigation is still ongoing, she said, and no arrests have been made.

Siegelman was hospitalized and went through two surgeries last week, according to Les Siegelman, and will require the use of a wheelchair “for a number of weeks.”

“We’re just grateful that she didn’t suffer more serious injures,” Les Siegelman said. “Her helmet was split.”

1. Why do the Ruling Oligarchs hate the Siegelmans? nm

The Pork Barrel World of Judge Mark Fuller

For the last week, we’ve been examining the role played by Judge Mark Everett Fuller in the trial, conviction, and sentencing of former Alabama Governor Don E. Siegelman. Today, we examine a post-trial motion, filed in April 2007, asking Fuller to recuse himself based on his extensive private business interests, which turn very heavily on contracts with the United States Government, including the Department of Justice.

The recusal motion rested upon details about Fuller’s personal business interests. On February 22, 2007, defense attorneys obtained information that Judge Fuller held a controlling 43.75% interest in government contractor Doss Aviation, Inc. After investigating these claims for over a month, the attorneys filed a motion for Fuller’s recusal on April 18, 2007. The motion stated that Fuller’s total stake in Doss Aviation was worth between $1-5 million, and that Fuller’s income from his stock for 2004 was between $100,001 and $1 million dollars.

In other words, Judge Fuller likely made more from his business income, derived from U.S. Government contracts, than as a judge. Fuller is shown on one filing as President of the principal business, Doss Aviation, and his address is shown as One Church Street, Montgomery, Alabama, the address of the Frank M. Johnson Federal Courthouse, in which his chambers are located.

SNIP...

Doss Aviation and its subsidiaries also held contracts with the FBI. This is problematic when one considers that FBI agents were present at Siegelman’s trial, and that Fuller took the extraordinary step of inviting them to sit at counsel’s table throughout trial. Moreover, while the case was pending, Doss Aviation received a $178 million contract from the federal government.

Judge Fuller is a team player, Team BFEE.

3. They can really hold a grudge. nm

4. Maybe because back when Cheney was trying to lie this country into war, airc, a few people, not many

dared to question them. I believe Siegelman was one of them.

We know what they did to Valerie Plame because her husband told the truth about 'yellow cake from Niger', so NOTHING would or should surprise anyone.

Where was Karl Rove that day?

I know I am a bit biased about all this, but Rove is always my #1 Suspect.

5. But isn't it carrying a grudge too far to keep him locked up forever. And Obama going along?

Now the very active daughter gets hit by a hit and run driver. At least she wasn't suicide'd. Or her car mysteriously ran into a tree.

6. For these lunatics, nothing is too far. I hope she has some protection. Though who could be trusted

with that is the question.

How sad is it that Democrats will not step forward and end this horrific injustice. I can only imagine how betrayed Siegelman must feel.

If he was a Republican, see Ted Stevens, there is now way he would be in jail.

Makes me wonder what is wrong, are they being threatened, is there something we don't know?

This is definitely one of the most tragic miscarriages of justice in this country.

7. The fact that a Democratic president couldn't or wouldn't help the Gov

is a real disappointment to me. My conspiratorial mind thinks this is something bigger than the president.

[sabrina 1]

8. Yes, same here. I can't imagine how the DOJ was able to overturn Stevens' conviction due to

problems with the prosecution and simply ignore even MORE problems with Siegelman's prosecutor and judge and those who drove the whole thing.

Makes you wonder, has there been a right wing 'coup' in this country?

[rhett o rick]

9. If your asking, I believe there was a silent coup. It happened over years most likely.

It's obvious to me that during the Bush Lost Decade there were all the trappings for a coup. 9/11 (Cheney's Pearl Harbor) provided the cover for unlimited and unregulated expansion of the Security State. There was zero oversight for sure during the Bush years. I bet when Obama came to office he was greeted by a Security State that he could do nothing about. The Group or Cabal or whatever we should call them really don't like Gov Siegelman.
I can go on but I won't. I don't think we can prevail over this Cabal. It may be international and they don't need our middle class for anything except our financial resources. They are not patriotic to the USofA. Sorry, some random thoughts.

10. Well, if that is what happened, and it certainly looks that way, they will do what authoritarians

always do, abuse the power they took. History is full of these periods, but in the end, they don't really last very long. And I think that is why they are so desperate, the know that. So whenever the people take to the streets, no matter how peaceful, they react with violence and anger. See OWS and now Ferguson. That is a sign of fear imo.
