Are we ready for a hung jury in the Libby case? IMO, that is the most

[CK_John]

to hope for, with a DC jury.

1. I don't think so if it goes longer then Friday maybe

[Xipe Totec]

2. A hung jury would convict Libby

Only a jury with no berries would let him walk.

4. heehee

[slingsam]

7. brilliant picture

they were.......

[oldtimecanuk]

3. I'm missing something here... Do we need a unanimous jury? eom

[CK_John]

5. I think so. I'm not upto date on federal trials. n/t

6. CK John, how many forums are you going to post this in?

Not trying to stir shit up, are you??

[CK_John]

8. Just trying to bring a sense of realism to the board.

10. Oh, thank you for your concern...

NGU.

9. Well, all the legal analysts predicted a DC jury would be

less likely to be sympathetic and thus acquit Libby prior to the trial... So, what has changed now?

11. Why is that the most we can hope for with a DC jury?

Aren't DC juries usually anti-GOP?

12. DC is just one big company town, and the path of least resistance is

a non decision (hung jury). Too much evidence for a not guilty vote and too much courage needed for a guilty vote. So I expect a hung jury.

13. Doesn't matter, the pardon is coming.

Bush will pardon im the minute he is convicted

[CK_John]

15. I see I failed to convince you that we are a long way from a pardon.nt

[babylonsister]

14. Please define a DC jury. I've heard they are primarily liberal for the area,

but also savvy. Correct me or elaborate, please.

[CK_John]

16. Even zoning and trash collection is controlled by the Gov in DC. It's a

company town. If you don't work for the Gov., your job depends on the Gov. If retired your pension depends on the Gov. I just think the burden will be too much for a guilty vote. I think a few will take the easy way and hang the jury.

[Ninja Jordan]

17. I don't really understand the conclusion you're drawing.

[babylonsister]

18. So you don't know, you assume. Did you know there are more Democrats in

DC than rethugs? And there are many jobs people can fill who don't have to admit or advance their political persuasion.
People EARN their pensions,so I doubt they're in jeopardy. If I'm wrong, I'd like to hear about it.
