Reply #35: While we wait, H20 can you give some insight into the Valentines Day display.

There was speculation on a DU thread that added some info about how the jurors behaved when they walked into the courtroom with those T Shirts and many of us felt that it didn't seem to be proper for serious jurors to don Red T-Shirts leaving out one fellow juror and to address the Defense..(according to a newspaper article) wishing them "Happy St. Valentines."

Another poster speculated about the Libby Aspens and Crutches and wondered if it isn't strange that Russert shows up with crutches (after an accident in November) the Valentines T-Shirts {allusion to "St. Valentines Day Massacre") and again, the odd posturing of the Jurors to the Defense.

Anyway...My question has been: Where did the jurors get those T-Shirts and why did only one of them think it would be a bad idea. I know if I'd been on that jury I would have refused to wear one thinking it would be disrespectful of the situation and gravity of what the trial is about.

Anyway...would love to hear your thoughts. And any other Plameologist who could chime in.
