CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Jurors in the trial of two brothers accused being part of a Hezbollah cell sent questions to the judge Friday indicating they are deadlocked on at least one charge.

When they ended deliberations Thursday, jurors had said they thought they might have a verdict by lunchtime Friday.

Just another result of taxing tobacco outside of this state. If the taxes were not there, they would not have a readily available market up north. BTW, just how much money can you make off smuggling cigarettes above Virginia?

Don't know but I bet you could make the most money in Calif.
They probably have the highest tobacco tax thanks to the pals of Henry "Nostrils" Waxman.

I was just getting ready to post this good news. I heard it last night coming home from a fishing trip.

The AP story in this thread is another example why our mediots are never to be trusted.

This jury had no problems. They apparently had a couple of legitimate questions.

The AP fairy tale writer, and he/she/it's editor waived their magical Fairy wand to make it look like a problem

These guys are going away for a long time. What really chaffs my hide is when these foreigners come to this wonderful benevolent country and then figure out ways to screw us.

God bless those jurors and God bless America.
