Well you know if he was a republican, AP would have stated it three times in the first sentence.

I had to do a search to what party he belongs, not that I couldn't have guessed it. I found it here in the 6th paragraph

Jurors find Mike Morgan guilty on one count, acquit or deadlock on 61 other counts

Well, you sure won’t hear which party he belongs to if you listen to the local news, or see it if you read it in the local papers. Yet every time a conservative runs into trouble, they always, every time, mention the party.
