Lynne Stewart Jury Deliberations

The jury in the terrorism trial of New York defense attorney Lynne Stewart is taking its time --they are in their third week of deliberations. Judging by their grim expressions, they are deeply divided.

Legal experts conclude the jury is deeply split. A hung jury may or may not be a win for Stewart. I think it depends on her lawyer, Michael Tigar. If he does not stay to do a re-trial, the Government might be more confident of a win the second time around, and decide to try her again. On the other hand, if Tigar hangs in, I think the Government will move on.

    I'm a die-hard defense guy, but what she did was wrong.

    I was wrong, they should hang her.

    Hanging wouldn't work.. That b!itch is way too fat. IMO we need to bring back the guillotine for such treasonous scum.
