Thanks for the ping--last night, some commentators on Fox were saying it could be a mistrial for that reason. Sounds serious. But if I were Geragos, I wouldn't celebrate yet--they could still decide to retry, except woops, the Petersons might be out of money.
I would imagine they are; and Scotty would stay in jail while they scraped up more $$$ for him.
Whatever it is, I pray that that Falconer is involved; I'd like to see HIM in jail.
They WILL retry if this thing doesn't go to verdict this time around.
That's my prognostication.
Speaking of trials, Miz. We have 1001 reasons to rejoice that President Bush was re-elected and on that list are those interesting investigations proceeding. You just know a (shudder) Kerry DOJ would have turned that Plame gj back on the Republicans, if possible, and the CIA re-organization would have been right back to Clinton era liberal faction reigning supreme again.
Let's hope some indictments crop up soon.
Back on subject, Greta on Fox now reporting what we've heard, "possible juror problem".
Count on it!! Peterson will be retried!!! I don't see why they can't just remove the offending juror. Of course, they would need to start deliberations all over again but I'm still of the opinion that they can avoid a mistrial. It'll be up to the Judge.
