[new cruelty]

Good post. I just heard a gentleman from Friendsoftheborderpatrol.com on talk radio here in Philly. Many of his accounts conflict with the facts that Sutton outlines. If I can find a list of what was said, I'll post it here.

Just browsing the web, I did find this article written in October 2006...perhaps this has already been discussed elswhere:

Jurors say they were misled to convict agents: The problem was that the jurors were under the impression that a hung jury was not an option. Gourley, a special education teacher, and Torres said that the foreman of the jury told them that Cardone would not accept a hung jury. Woods said she heard the same statement but could not remember which juror said it. ... "Essentially, when they saw they could not convince the majority in favor of voting guilty, they conceded their votes, believing that they did not have the option to stick to their guns and prevent a unanimous verdict," Stillinger wrote in the motion.

I fear our justice system if jurors are this stupid.
