Of course she does.

I'm truly, TRULY shocked that the convicted felon hasn't pardoned Scrushy already.

She's a party. What a wild ride.

FTA: “In order to get through this, I had to look through the spiritual aspect of all of it. On the day that he was arraigned here … he was charged with [federal] Statute 666. So that was very clear to me where this attack was coming from," Leslie Scrushy said.

The connection to the devil did not end there, according to her.

“And then, when the prosecutors rested their case, they rested their case on June 6 of 2006. 6-6-6. From my perspective, it was a conspiracy that required Franklin, Feaga and Fuller all to accomplish,” Leslie Scrushy said, referring to then-Acting U.S. Attorney Louis Franklin, then-Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephen Feaga and then-U.S. District Court Judge Mark Fuller.

“If you look at their names, they all start with the letter ‘F,’ which is the sixth letter of the alphabet,” Leslie Scrushy said. “So that was part of how I made it through, was to continue to pray to God to thank him for all of the blessings that we seek.”

Why do I think that "The Church Lady" should have been one of the prosecutors...?

I used to watch their 'TV preacher' weekly broadcast out of Birmingham while they were waiting on courts and sentencing. First Scrushy, then his wife. It was fascinating.

No, sky daddy didn’t send people to persecute him. If anything, sky daddy sent them to punish Scrushy like he should be punished, although he got off easy. That man ruined my mother’s life and stole all her retirement funds after conning employees to “invest in themselves” by putting all their retirement into Healthsouth stock. (I know it’s more complicated to that but, in essence it’s what he did.) I heard it for myself as an intern when he felt the need to grace everyone with his presence and tell us to give “him” money. That man is a joke and a loser and I hope he rots in hell.
