108. The analogy is not guilt, it is state prosecution for a heresy!
When the State prosecutes "heretics" the concept of guilt is rather meaningless since the crime is in the mind of the accusor.
Gov. Siegelman's heresy was not joining the criminals and not allowing Big Oil to rip off his state!
His "burning at the stake" (or his "house arrest" since you insist on perfect analogy) was having his election stolen and, when he again sought re-election, persecution by criminal prosecution and the Big House.
