Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman -- hoping Obama commutes sentence or pardons Gov. Siegelman

http://www.al.com/news/mobile/index.ssf/2016/11/imprisoned_former_alabama_gov.html

Just thinking about this man, who remains in prison. He expects to be released February 8 - but it would be wonderful to have him released prior to that date. I don't care if the sentence is commuted or he is pardoned - just would like to see him with his family.

Shouldn't have sought to reverse Mr. Chance's parole. Must suck when the shoe's on the other foot.
