his record prior to this case reveals nothing but a thorough, stand-up prosecutor

You know, if you say that enough times, you might even begin to believe it yourself.

What do you think of Fitzgerald's request of the judge that the dismissed juror be replaced and the deliberations restarted, even though, according to NRO, it's exactly the opposite of what prosecutors usually request?

You have anything other than that quip? Like an example, or evidence?

What I think of Fitzgerald asking for the alternate is exactly the same as what I think of Wells not asking for a mistrial - exactly the opposite of what defense lawyers usually request. It is odd, but impossible to judge not being there or observing any of the jurors, or the voir dire.
