Fox News Cable ^ | Nov 17, 2003

[TomGuy]

Verdict just in in John Muhammad case: Guilty of Murder.

[boxerblues]

Guilty of all 3 charges!! woohoo

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Jury took just 7 hours.

[boxerblues]

make that 4 charges

[cgk]

Thank God. You never know with juries today what they'll decide.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

It's capital murder, does that mean automatic death penalty?

[TomGuy]

Penalty phase begins immediately. Found guilty of capital murder. Sentencing phase begins tomorrow.

[freedomcrusader]

Excellent! Anxiously awaiting sentencing for this Islamist terrorist.

[July 4th]

FOX says that sentencing deliberations begin immediately after the guilty verdict.

[Donna Lee Nardo]

Wow, I am stunned, but happy. The wacky way by which cases are being decided by both judges and juries these days had me thinking the jurists may well find the pondscum innocent.

[Catspaw]

Not automatic--but as close as you can get.

[Mr. Bird]

Good. But I swear if I see my state (Maryland) move to spend money prosecuting this little s*** while the good state of Virginia is trying to cook him, I'll be quite angry.

[Howlin]

Breaking News!

[AnAmericanMother]

A jury that's composed of people who have personally been looking over their shoulders in parking lots is going to be a lot more realistic in its assessment than, say, a bunch of folks in central LA who were never near Brentwood and never saw O.J. anywhere other than on TV . . . .

[CounterCounterCulture]

FRY Muhammad! Mumia too!

[valleygal]

Very happy here. One down, one to go.

[PoisedWoman]

Can you imagine what would have happened had he been tried in a liberal state? After a month's deliberations, jury would have been hung.

Anyway, good news the creep is on his way upriver, possibly to a cozy cell on death row. When will sentence be handed down?

[Howlin]

Virginia jury don't have a problem with the DP.

[martin_fierro]

Some people just need killin'.

[AdSimp]

Jury wanted to get out in time for RUSH!

Virginia courts ought to set up a business so other states can out-source justice to us. We get it done.

[dansangel]

Amen.

Ping to .45MAN

[Howlin]

Exactly.

Fox (Bernie) is saying that there is virtually NO chance this guy won't get the DP.

[Nick Thimmesch]

Wait: I/we thought (according to Moose) it was WHITE GUYS in a WHITE Van. Once again: the man set up a black man.

[hispanarepublicana]

Anxiously awaiting sentencing for this Islamist terrorist.

It seems so long ago, but what name did CNN, etc., attempt to use in the place of "Muhummed" in the immediate hours after he was arrested? Remember those first few hours when Judy Woodruff and other members of the media would say "Muhammed" and have this pained expression on their faces?

[Jonah Hex]

Not automatically. The convictions qualify for the death penalty under Virginia justice code, but now the jury has to decide the sentence. During the penalty phase of the trial, they can opt for "life" or "life without parole" if they choose.

(Been there, done that, served as a juror in a VA death penalty case.)

[Sabertooth]

Let's see how much they tell us now about what the FBI has learned of John Muhammad's links to Jamaat al Fuqra, which is the creation Sheikh Gilani, a Pakistani terror lord and a mentor of Osama bin Laden.

[Howlin]

Was this case on a Rocket Docket?

[Chad Fairbanks]

Bttt...

[Joe Bfstplk]

I am glad they did not change venue to GALVESTON!

[xzins]

There would have been a riot had it been any other way.

[DoctorMichael]

Good news!!! Now execute the callous bastard.

[TomGuy]

This verdict will wipe the smile off Malvo's face, too. lol

[DCBryan1]

Thanks for the ping....now just put the bastard out in public with no cops around ;)

PING for others!

[Sacajaweau]

Hang'em high! Make my day!

[AdSimp]

Was this case on a Rocket Docket?

Don't know, but I do know the reason the jury wanted a tape recorder. Limbaugh is back!

[Owl_Eagle]

 Too bad they didn't let him act as his own lawyer.  That would have been great for us fans of "Chaos theory"

[IonInsights]

Hang em high!

[Teacup]

Yep! I just heard. They convicted him of all charges. Now let's see what happens to the younger of the two. Is life in prison too good for these two?

[Pan_Yans Wife]

BUMP! Malvo, next!

[Ditter]

There is that strange photo. I wonder who was sitting on Muhammad's left side.

[surely_you_jest]

The so-called "rocket docket" is the US District Court for Eastern VA (Alexandria). I believe this trial was taking place in state court, not federal.

[Teacup]

Virginia courts ought to set up a business so other states can out-source justice to us. We get it done.

AMEN!!!

A jury that's composed of people who have personally been looking over their shoulders in parking lots is going to be a lot more realistic in its assessment

Well, the jury pool was pulled in the Va. Beach area, about three hours from where most of the murders/attacks occurred. But undoubtedly these jurors shared some of the fear.

[mhking]

Penalty phase due to begin around 2P ET.

Just damn.

If you want on the new list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

[SamAdams76]

Any reason why these two weren't tried together? Would have saved the taxpayers even more money. A double-execution would save money too.

[Pippin]

Burn, baby, Burn!

[ken5050]

Can't you just see the signs in Iraq, Palestine, and Saudi Arabia...."Americans kill Mohammed!!!"

[ArrogantBustard]

The trials of Mohammad and Malvo are taking place in State courts in Norfolk and Chesapeake, Virginia. They moved the trials as far from the scene of the crimes as they could, while still being in a major city in Virginia.

[Howlin]

Thanks. I knew it was there -- just wondered if they had it anywhere else.
