In Holy Land case, 1 said he might acquit out of safety concerns

 

Three potential jurors in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism financing trial were sent home Monday after each said they were afraid their service might put them or their families in danger.

"Sounds like some pretty serious charges to me," said one man, moments after he was told why he was asked to show up at the federal courthouse. "I don't feel comfortable. ... This ain't like a parking ticket."

"Would the fear of retaliation affect the way you looked at the case?" defense attorney Greg Westfall asked.

"Yes," the man said.

Our government is failing us on all levels.

Why not put a one-way window/mirror between the jury and the courtroom?

Dammit. We can't afford not to hold accountable radical Islam.

And somebody, please give Pamela or I a credible Giuliani HQ e-mail... Sir Rudy will have a field day with this and he also is a partner with a law firm based out of Texas.

pamela:

i would except to your observation that the government in failing us, in the case of timorous jurors.

this is an instance in which the jurors are failing our country, failing themselves, because they haven't sufficient grit to stand in judgment of these defendants.

they will not do their civic and political duty because they live in fear of retaliation.

the only polite way to describe their action is cowardice.

i have never used an "alias" in communicating over the net. my name is, john jay, and it is the name my partents gave me. i live in port angeles, washington, 98362. someone wants my phone number, or my address, they can look it up.

i will speak my mind, live my life, go where i want, when i want, devil take the hindmost, i will not live in fear. someone wants a piece of me, they had best be willing to give up a little piece in exchange. life is too damned short, to go around like a damned quail.

it is time people got a little grit, and if you will pardon the expression, a little grip on their gonads. it makes me ashamed to read that an american would say he feared retaliation because of jury duty.

Unreal. I am a Mayflower descendant and I thought this was America.

I'd like to be a juror on this trial, one-way mirror or not.

One condition: Pamela Geller is also on the jury. I will keep the beautiful brainiac safe.

you are alright. you should come back as often as you like. you are level headed, calm and cogent. all the things i aspire to, and seldom achieve.

i am descended, by the way, from the oldive gorge eve's, you might have heard of them. just down the street from plymouth. over the other side of the treks. laughing.

just tie your hat on, though, whenever you step aboard this craft, it can be a bit rough and tumble. but, always very interesting. and, always very welcoming to people who are interested in truth.

i believe you will make a swell contribution to the little group that meets here, who, are in the main, very interested in discussion and trying to sort out the import of the events of the day.

pipe her aboard, mates. that is how we do it down at the gorge. laughing.
