Actually, this would mean that you lied during the selection process when you were asked if you could render an unbiased and fair verdict. That lie undermined the defendent and the prosecutions case... essentially saying 'no matter what is said, i will vote for/against this person.' wouldn't that be grounds for a fraud charge of some kind?
I find it funny that certain groups would use this tactic. I listened to a talk by cochran @ georgetown about how blacks should follow this tactic if ever selected for a jury involving a black person. wonder what they would think if the same thing were ever told to whites. In the end, it just a means they are trying to undermine the entire judicial system in the US. (which is already pretty messed up...)
How very islamic of them.
Why is this man not in prison instead of free to commit still more evil acts?
vaudine
Blood is a biohazzard. Throwing potentially infectious materials on people is a much more serious crime than throwing a pie. Knowing their tactics, I wouldn't be surprised if the blood he threw was infected with hepatitis or AIDS.
later possible ping...
These wretched leftists disgust me. Even with its faults, America is the noblest and the greatest country on earth. Its people are friendly, open-minded, and fair. Why is it that a foreigner like me understands what these homegrown nuts cannot?
So my next question is:
Why do they have religious rights and the rest of us do not?
These old hippies got a hung jury in the state trial and were supposed to be federally tried starting Sept. 19.
Why are the newsies rehashing the old trial info and not reporting on the status at the current trial?
The bulk of the story is about the trial testimony yesterday, which set forth the protesters' history of violence, what was done to the soldier and the statements made by the protesters while testifying in their own defense.
I just read the NYTimes story, I get it now. Thanks.
I think I will start praying for a guilty verdict and maximum sentencing. If they "protested" an abortion clinic this way they'd be facing RICO charges and you can bet the judge would through the book at them.

That's what I thought(Biohazard)...Assalt with a deadly weapon....
Thats assault with a deadly weapon....
On another score: "There was also another plowshares acquittal, which occurred in Edinburgh, Scotland during the trial of three women who disarmed Trident-related technology as part of the Trident Ploughshares 2000 campaign. "
The chicks got onboard a Trident Sub ("how?" inside job?) docked in Scotland and damaged submartine control boards.
I was thinking more along the line of being a defendant rather than juror, but jury nullification is a valid legal ruling to be used where an action, though illegal, is not wrong. See a lawyer if you want a better definition. If I were a juror I would be able to listen to the facts of the case and decide on their merits. Someone assaulting a person in the act of pouring blood on a member of our armed forces would likely cause me to nullify the charges. That does not mean I would see against a war protestor in all cases.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Miroslav Lovric continued to bring up past arrests related to protests. Clare Grady told the jury she'd been sentenced to two years in federal prison after she and others trespassed in 1983 at an Air Force base in Rome, N.Y., and damaged a bomber with hammers.Lovric asked Clare Grady about the incident at the Air Force base. He inquired if she knew about the cost of the damage, her time served in federal prison and her association with groups that have damaged government property in the past.
Grady also spoke about why the four poured blood on the American flag in the recruiting office.
“That blood was already on the flag,” Clare Grady said. “We just made it visible.”
wonderful, another country heard from... now this goofball Gary Kline from Montour poured what he said was his own blood on the Binghamton Federal Building. he just walked past police officers and poured it on a column in the front of the building then put his hands in it and made red hand prints on the pillar.
