Jury set to resume deliberations in Libby trial
February 26, 2007 03:03 EST

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Jurors considering the five felony charges against former White House aide Lewis 'Scooter' Libby are entering a fourth day of deliberations today.

The former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney is charged with lying and obstructing the investigation into who leaked the identity of a CIA operative.

The jury of eight women and four men hasn't been heard from since requesting pictures of the witnesses and some office supplies.

Libby could face up to 30 years in prison if convicted on all five felony charges.

1. Is it a good sign that they are taking this long?

Or not? Do you think they will have a verdict this week?

2. I think this validates the complexity of the evidence and the jury's understanding of the

magnitude of their decision.

Also, they are looking at five counts, so need to deliberate each one.

I find it encouraging that they are this intent on being very clear on the testimony and evidence presented. MKJ
