Former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman was the most successful and promising politician in modern Alabama history, that is until Siegelman's enemies dragged him into court with biased prosecutors and a corrupt judge. Rather than meet his potential, Governor Siegelman was sentenced to eighty-eight months, locked away as a political prisoner. In Stealing Our Democracy, Siegelman tells his side of the story, a story with damning implications for anyone who believes that democracy and the criminal justice system cannot be exploited for political gain.
