Aug. 11, 2014 - Fulton County Sheriff'­s Office

QUESTION #1

Where is the Siegelman Judge today?

Well, he is no longer on the bench. Under threat of impeachment, Mark Fuller resigned effective Aug 1, 2015, for beating his wife in an Atlanta hotel. The assault was captured on audio when his wife phoned 911 for help. It can be heard here.

QUESTION #2

Was the Judge in the Siegelman case fair and open-minded?

No. When Mark Fuller assumed his position as Federal Judge, Governor Siegelman's office found that Fuller had misappropriated over $300,000 in Retirement funds in his previous post as District Attorney. Although the audit was routine and no charges were filed, Fuller was professionally embarrassed. He blamed Siegelman. The trial provided the perfect opportunity for payback.

Fuller had also provided significant support to Gov. Siegelman’s political opponents during the previous race for Governor of Alabama.

Despite these glaring conflicts of interest, Fuller refused to recuse himself from the trial. Read More
