[DURHAM D]

1. Huh? nt

[RB TexLa]

2. The jury couldn't convict for three days, then all of a sudden a convection

I'm asking what did the US Attorney give the holdout jurors to vote guilty.

[DURHAM D]

3. Are you actually taking issue with the verdicts? nt

[RB TexLa]

4. I "took issue" with the indictments.

[DURHAM D]

6. Just how dirty does a pol have to be for you to think prosecution is appropriate?

[RB TexLa]

7. So you defend Bush's justice department raiding Democratic house members offices

Wow, just wow.

8. They did get a warrant didn't they?

9. What kind of logic is that?

By your logic, you could twist anything. The jury couldn't convict for 4 hours, then all of sudden a conviction.

Considering the jury deliberation is private. Any conviction is 'all of a sudden'. And you cant possibly be defending that crook and corrupt embarrassment to government.

10. That's how US Attorney's work. Especially when they believe as you

do that the case is open and shut. If they don't get what they want quick they are in with job offers, made up evidence or help with a case for the ones who are holding out.

11. Or maybe...

Or maybe because there were 16 counts, the jury had to take a bunch of time to ask technical questions to determine exactly which counts applied since they ended convicting 11 of the 16. Or maybe there was someone on the jury who was concerned about things like you and the deliberate process took a long time. None of us know enough about the private deliberations in the jury room to vote on a poll accusing the US Attorney of jury tampering. And yes, $90,000 wrapped in tin foil in your freezer which is traced to bribing someone in Nigeria is pretty sad. Yes the Bush FBI raid had some issues and some evidence was thrown out after the Supreme Court ruled as such.
