A team of award-winning filmmakers has joined forces to make the long-awaited documentary about former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman a reality!
The film will reveal the dark underbelly of Republican politics. It will explain how Karl Rove used his senior executive position in the Bush White House to “get rid of Siegelman” because Republicans simply couldn’t beat him at the polls. Rove began by arranging for loyal Republican operatives, and Siegelman’s political adversaries, to be appointed as federal prosecutors. Those prosecutors quickly indicted Siegelman with fake, made-up charges alleging actions that, according to hundreds of legal experts – both Republican and Democrat – have never been crimes in the history of American jurisprudence. Then, to make those false charges stick, Rove rigged a Federal court by arranging for a Republican “hanging judge" with ethical violations to preside over the trial. Despite multiple conflicts of interest, the judge rejected demands for his recusal.
Inside this excessively biased courtroom, Rove’s henchmen got away with a staggering amount of judicial misconduct: lying to the jury, bribing the judge, scripting witness testimony, threatening the witness if he didn’t comply, multiple improper jury instructions, jury tampering, and allowing admittance of false evidence. Because the only judicial oversight was by fellow Republican officials under Rove’s control, it was completely impossible for Don Siegelman to get anything close to a fair trial, even with baseless, trumped-up charges.
