It looks like another defeat for the feds in the homegrown terror trial of the Liberty City, Florida defendants they said wanted to blow up the Sears Tower in Chicago and federal buildings in Miami. (Background here.)The trial began in September and went to the jury on December 4. The jury deliberated four days and told the Judge Thursday it was deadlocked. Today, the Judge gave the dynamite instruction, called the Allen charge, and told them to keep going. They'll be back tomorrow, but trial oberservers don't expect a verdict.

The case was one of those trumpeted by Alberto Gonzales. It seemed like overblown hype from the beginning.

The defendants assert they were ensnared by an FBI informant and had no intention of participating in such schemes. Six months after their arrest, Narseal Batiste, the lead defendant, sent a 25 page letter to the media, explaining his position.

Is that when liberals win one for a change?

i am weary

of transportation? Who lived in an old container, more or less?

Jesus, it took this long to get them into court?

They're actually NOT "not guilty." Your subject line is a bit inaccurate. There's NO VERDICT YET.

If the Allen doesn't move them forward, though, they'll be home for Xmas.

because i posted it earlier.
