This is in the Star-Telegram this morning regarding setting a jury for this trial:

DALLAS -- Three of the first 26 people interviewed for jury duty in the case of Muslim charity officials accused of financing Hamas terrorists said they feared for their safety, including one man who said he wouldn't put anything past the Middle Eastern militants.

Bravo for this guy. Call 'em like you see 'em.

Texas gets a lot of these trials. I was at a legal translation conference last year in Houston and saw the conclusion of a Federal level trial of a Pakistani accused of and admitting to money laundering for various terrorist organizations. He was a convenience store owner and obviously had been forced into this very complicated plot (although he clearly knew what he was doing). He was the first person I have ever seen who was happy to be sentenced to 10 years in Federal prison.

Better in jail than out where the jihadis could get him. More and more of these trials, btw, seem not to be jury trials, perhaps because it is getting increasingly difficult to find juries. The judges who conduct these trials are very brave - and, I hope, well guarded.

It sounds like a mafia trial.
