One thing I cannot understand is how the Jury got so loaded.

Where was Delay’s attorney when they picked the jury. Did he contest any Juror?

This defendent attorney was supposed to be great shakes, but he allowed a Jury like this?

DeLay’s attorneys tried to get the trial move to El Paso. It was denied, and this will be a part of any appeal.

Travis County is the most liberal spot in Texas. I can’t blame the lawyers for the jury pool. They knew it was a stacked deck.

You don't get an unlimited supply of peremptory challenges. I think TX is 10, or so. If the jurisdiction is 80% Dem, and you only get 10 challenges - well, you can do the math.
