Reply #5: Obama has not appointed a new prosecutor for the district

[merh]

in Alabama.

We are talking about the same prosecutor, Leura Canary. She is the one asking for the increased sentence (it would be her office).

The Court is bound by the original sentence and the presentence report filed when Seigelman was convicted. The new report would only include new wrongs, it could not punish him for appealing his conviction. It cannot now seek to increase the penalty simply because Seigelman pursued his right to appeal the case.

If anything, this effort is just further evidence of the prosecutor's vendetta - maybe it will cause holder to take action. (Everyone should send a copy of this nonsense on to holder and complain loudly and often.)
