Want to have this up and ready for when deliberations open at 8:00 AM EST or so.
There is no way they could convict Libby if they followed the instructions but it being in Washington, DC there is no way for him to be exonerated.
Do you have a link to the instructions? I have not seen them. I've looked for them using Google but still haven't been able to turn them up. I haven't even seen a good description of them on the blogs.
I think this jury is milking the taxpayer. It's not that complicated.

David Korn, left leaning reporter for The Nation had done a better job of reporting this than a lot of others.

I think I'm missing one or two. Repond to this message and tell me about it that way people can use this and the responses to find links.
Interesting if it's eleven votes for innocent and one holdout for guilty. That would explain why the prosecutor wanted that anti-Libby alternate juror to replace the one who was dismissed, and why Libby's lawyer would have agreed to a jury of eleven instead.
After all, who would the left wing press be talking to? It seems very probable to me that the dismissed juror was a leftist stooge who either was known to the press or called them to fill them in.
If it's 11 to 1, that lonely one must be a pretty stubborn guy. Or maybe well paid.

First question: Are the jurors dressed up, or still in jeans?
I appreciate the thread Jack.
Now...can you please tell me what is taking so long??
Libby will be found guilty on two of the counts, hung jury on the remaining.
This is the same "jury pool" that could find the D.C. Mayor Marion "snort" Barry guilty of drug charges in the early 90's but turn right around and elect him to the D.C. council in 1992 and again mayor in 1994.
The "jury gene-pool" is 10 miles wide and 1/8" deep!
That lonely one got kicked off the jury. There's only eleven jurors.
I understood from yesterday that they put an alternative juror on the panel. Not true?
Which two? The ones that involve russert?
He was elected to office by people who, for the most part, cannot serve on a federal jury due to felony convictions.
Anyway, Berry's political strenth came from 8th Ward ~ they love the Mayor.
BTW, Berry's the kind of guy that if you can get past the doper part, is quite engaging ~ a friendly man ~ and he has a list of "quotable quotes", all of 'em original, to equal that of any politician in any time of history.
Not true.
Don't know. Last I read they decided to proceed with eleven because if they put an alternate on the jury they would have to start deliberations over. I may not be completely up to speed but I think it's the magnificent 11 now.
Also my understanding ther are 11 jurors now, still with two alternates -- in case anything else happens. They would have had to begin deliberations over, that was the argument for going with the 11. The real reason was one of the two alternates was obviously hostile to the defense and receptive to the prosecution by her body language. Probably "Jury 101" on the part of the defense, nothing more.
Well, that's good news, I think. Evidently she was making faces at Libby's lawyer during his summary.
