This is about the jury selection process, Chief. I've heard the last juror, the one who was a neighbor of Russert and who had worked with Woodward at the Washington Post, both witnesses in the trial, was seated because the defense was out of peremptory challenges. I've served on juries many times and know that the trial judge can excuse a juror without a challenge from the prosecution or the defense over information discovered in the voir dire.The judge shouldn't have seated this juror in the beginning. Wondering if this will fly at an appeal.

The fact that the reporter juror, a friend of witnesses, has clearly indicated he intends to write a book about the trial, could have some serious impact on the appeal. Was the juror, who has a stated monetary interest in the case, fair and impartial?

He wouldn't sell many books if Libby had gotten off.

Nevermind that the jury was stacked against Libby, the biggest moral outrage in my view was that the trial got as far as it did, without the shred of any evidence aside from "faulty memory". By that yard stick, we're all guilty, if having a faulty memory is a crime.
