From what I've been able to tell...the deck was gonna be stacked against Libby jury wise no matter how much they objected. D.C. is a Lib haven...they couldn't have found 12 "objective" jurors if you'd looked up the definition and read it to them.

Both sides get a limited amount of objections to potential jurors if I understand the selection process properly...I'm guessing that this jury was the best they could get from the pool.

Which isn't saying much.

Libby is a lawyer, and seemed to be very involved in his own defense. Why didn't he demand the guy be stricken?

I'm guessing they thought a reporter would know how slimy reporters are, and took that chance.

Though, like BillyJeff, it is likely Libby won't be a lawyer for much longer.
