Part of the drama over the next few weeks in the Siegelman case will be whether the presiding judge Fuller gets out of it quickly by either recusal or by blaming prosecutors for misconduct. Alternatively, he and the Justice Department could continue to stand tough, admitting no error. Up to now, they've argued that the public need be concerned only about crimes by Siegelman and Scrushy that deserve long prison time, and no mercy. In 2007, Fuller had the defendants hauled off to prison in shackles in front of news photographers, with Siegelman put in solitary confinement for good measure.
