Richard Schrushy Sheds Light on the Lies and Corruption in the Siegelman Case

I never gave a single dime to Governor Siegelman and the facts show this but for some reason the jury didn't care about the facts either and neither did the prosecutors or the Judge.First, I never wrote a check to him and he never received any money.
