Citizen journalist's work cited in Congress

Blogger Roger Shuler writes in to say that his work as a citizen journalist was cited in last week's U.S. House Judiciary Committee hearing on selective prosecution.

The Don Siegelman case in Alabama and the Cyril Wecht case in Pennsylvania were the primary focal points of the hearing. But U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) introduced documents related to the Paul Minor case in Mississippi, which involves the convictions of an attorney and two judges on corruption charges. My research, and other evidence, strongly suggests the Minor case was wrongly decided, possibly for political reasons.
Documents introducted yesterday included a letter to the committee from Mr. Minor, who made numerous references to the "Mississippi Churning" series that has been a major part of my Legal Schnauzer blog in recent weeks.

It's interesting to note that a citizen journalist/blogger has been referenced as part of a Congressional investigation into the U.S. Justice Department. I don't know if that kind of citation has occurred before, particularly on such a weighty matter.

It is an example of the role alternative media can play on stories that the mainstream press either ignores or fails to cover thoroughly.

I live in Birmingham, AL, and my blog started primarily as an outlet for information about my own experiences with judicial corruption in Alabama state courts. But I quickly realized that problems in our justice system go well beyond my case and my state. I also found numerous connections between my experience and the more high-profile cases that are now part of a Congressional investigation. That's what led to
my research on the Minor case.

Here is a link to a post about references to Legal Schnauzer in last week's proceedings.
