Caught Red-Handed!
A Corrupt U.S. Attorney in Alabama
Would you like to see a corrupt U.S. attorney in the Bush Justice Department caught red-handed in the midst of her dirty deeds?
Well, here is your opportunity. The blog Legal Schnauzer has unearthed the unlawful ways of Alice Martin, U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Alabama and the first prosecutor to go after former Democratic Governor Don Siegelman.
Signs are everywhere that Alice Martin might be near the top of the list when roll is called for the most corrupt officials in the Bush Justice Department. Heck, even some members of the Alabama press are starting to notice.
And Scott Horton, of Harper's magazine, reports that just this morning Alice Martin was before a federal judge to answer for her dismal handling of a case in Huntsville, Alabama.
Evidence is building that Alice Martin will be squarely in the crosshairs when, and if, Congress actually gets to the bottom of the Bush DOJ scandal. Legal Schnauzer has more to come on his first-person account of corruption in the Birmingham U.S. attorney's office.


Authors Bio:
I live in Birmingham, Alabama, and work in higher education. I became interested in justice-related issues after experiencing gross judicial corruption in Alabama state courts. This corruption has a strong political component. The corrupt judges are all Republicans, and the attorney who filed a fraudulent lawsuit against me has strong family ties to the Alabama Republican Party, with indirect connections to national figures such as Karl Rove. In fact, a number of Republican operatives who have played a central role in the prosecution of former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman (a Democrat) also have connections to my case.

I am married, with no kids and two Siamese cats. I am the author of the blog Legal Schnauzer. The blog is written in honor of Murphy, our miniature schnauzer (1993-2004)who did so much to help my wife and me survive our nightmarish experience with corrupt judges.

I grew up in Springfield, Missouri, and I am pretty much a lifelong St. Louis Cardinal baseball fan. I've lived in Birmingham for almost 30 years and have adopted the UAB Blazers as my Southern college football and basketball team to follow. Also, follow East Tennessee State basketball.

An avid reader, both fiction and non-fiction. Influential writers on public affairs are Kevin Phillips, Michael Lind, Thomas Edsall, E.J. Dionne, Molly Ivins, and Scott Horton.
