According to (AL.com): I had meant to take a stroll down Memory Lane, or maybe a Nightmare on 18th Street, where 10 years ago in the cold I waited on the corner with a gaggle of other reporters for Richard Scrushy to approach the federal courthouse.


This week marks 10 years since the former HealthSouth CEO went on trial there, beginning a six-month courtroom circus from which he would walk away a free man. (He was convicted two years later of bribing former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman, but that's another story.)


I was going to reminisce about the ineptitude of the prosecution, the bumbling of the court and the audacity of the defense. During closing arguments, his lead lawyer, Donald Watkins, literally wrapped himself in the American flag and pleaded with jurors to "get our government off its knees" for goodness sake.


Instead, I found something that gave me chills about the present and for a moment forget about the past.
