5 panelists call case 'politically motivated'
With Dr. Cyril H. Wecht's lawyer looking on, five of the jurors in the famous pathologist's mistrial made a group media appearance yesterday and said they favored acquittal on most of the 41 counts brought by the government.
On KDKA Radio and later at a meeting with other news organizations, the jurors said they were split 8-3 in favor of acquittal on 27 fraud counts.
They said they were split 6-5 in favor of conviction on 14 other fraud and theft counts.
The jurors also said they didn't think the government should retry Dr. Wecht and expressed dismay that federal prosecutors didn't talk to them before telling the judge they would go to trial again.

Wasn’t Wecht somehow involved in disputing one or more of Clinton’s crimes?
Sad how corrupt the prosecutors in the country have become.
Umm they love Greta van Susteran on Fox?
Dr Wecht seemed to transform himself from an advocate for a second gunman to an advocate for Cyril Wecht.
These last few years I had the impression that Wecht would have dropped his pants in the town square for attention.
What a pity to see what the power of “fame” can do to a once deeply principled man.
