Not even allowed to talk to his family over the holidays! Joseph Siegelman, the former Governor’s son and one of his attorneys, added “the telephone number for the Thom Hartman Talk Show had been approved by the prison, and we can find no rules against talking to the media in BOP regulations. In fact, one regulation states that inmates ‘have the right to correspond with the media.’ We do not know at this point if he will be subjected to any further disciplinary actions for talking on the radio show.” Siegelman, convicted in 2007, has consistently maintained his innocence. He currently has an appeal before the United States Supreme Court regarding his sentence which included additional prison time for ‘Acquitted Conduct’ imposed by the recently disgraced federal judge Mark Fuller.

FILMING FOR Atticus and the Architect: The Political Assassination of Don Siegelman From the moment this project first began, we made a commitment to tell the entire truth about this case, and substantiate it with illustrative details to provide a historical record of what really happened. This film will hopefully make an impact by revealing many of the flaws in our judicial system that allowed this innocent man to be railroaded into prison, and to expose the judicial abuse that has become so pervasive in America's courts. To learn more, view our trailer here: Atticus and the Architect: The Political Assassination of Don Siegelman. If you are familiar with this case, you know that Don Siegelman does not belong in prison at all; you also know that the objective rule of law has been completely disregarded, and replaced with the political agenda of his political rivals. From the prosecutorial misconduct to the malicious prosecution to a wrongful conviction – the list of abuses in this case is simply staggering. Why is this so important? 2016 ELECTIONS: The elections are coming up soon and we want the film to be released in time to wake people up to the underhanded tactics that might be used to defeat legitimate candidates.
