So what is the verdict of this travesty going to be? I hope that at lest we get a hung jury and of course the best outcome will be “not guilty” because this whole trial is one of the biggest farce trials in history.
Since there are 5 counts a mistrial wouldn't be so bad because they almost certainly will acquit on 3 of the 5 unless they are utter morons. Judging from the blogs during the jury selection it seems like there are some pretty decent people on the jury. Of course the MSM will only focus on the mistrial aspect of it.
Well, one verdict is already in, undeniably : it is a travesty of prosecution and a political show trial.
The question now really is whether the people on DC jury want to be a part of it on the record forever in the annals of US justice system, just like OJ jury.
Fitzgerald is already compared to Mike Nifong unfavorably, because he knew from the start that no law was broken, and who the person was that disclosed "CIA wife" information to Novak, who found the rest of information in public source materials. Nifong didn't even have that luxury, he had a somewhat unreliable potential victim with a possible crime in the beginning, and then proceeded to "cook" the crime.
Now we'll know if jury is willing to go along with an obvious political farce and cause the loss of freedom to a real victim of political persecution by a political hack with a law degree.
