Siegelman proclaims his innocence on TV
--everyone KNOWS you can believe it if it's on TV!
I am reminded of a trip our senior class took in high school. We went to Mt. Meigs State Prison in Montgomery, and spent nearly all day there. Not really so much one of those "Scared Straight" programs, but just your general sort of informational field trip things, with murderers instead of museum docents.
Anyway, what was interesting to us all was that every single man there, all the way up to "Dynamite Bob" Chambliss, proclaimed his absolute, unwavering innocence. Not a single man there had ever done anything wrong, much less anything worthy of being in jail. They were all completely not guilty.
"What are you here for?"
"They say I robbed a convenience store and killed a man."
Yes, innocent people are sometimes mistakenly convicted. But not all convicts are innocent, no matter how much they proclaim to the contrary. Or how expensive their suit and shoes might be.

She knows he didn't do it too.
