Much better for the appeals process to take its course, which if there is any justice will end with Libby exonerated and Fitz and Judge Walton chastized from the bench.

There seem to be some solid appellate issues stemming from evidence the judge refused to admit.

I fear that there may not be any justice to be had, for a reason that hasn't had enough attention: Libby's own lawyers, as much as anybody, got him convicted. How did that happen? Ted Wells (let me focus on him) is not an idiot, and I don't believe he consciously set out out to lose the case; but being a liberal, he was blinded by his own prejudice against the administration and therefore against his client. He could not argue any defense except a bad memory (thus conceding, at least by silence, that what Libby said was factually false) because the liberal view of things would allow no other defense.

This happens; lawyers often represent people they don't like. But a good lawyer rises above his prejudice, he doesn't let it control him; and an honest lawyer, if he can't rise above it, doesn't take the case.
