Notes from the jury deliberating the fate of ex-White House aide Lewis (Scooter) Libby gave a hint there might be one or two holdouts on a conviction.

Sounds to me like one or two jurors can't understand what "reasonable doubt" means and are holding out for conviction, while the rest of the jurors want to just throw the whole disgraceful mess out and go home.

I'd bet - given the tendancies of a DC jury -- that 9 of the 11 want to convict, but 2 others know the case is NOT proven beyond reasonable doubt. The 9 wackos are trying to redefine terms to get the sane ones to budge.
