From Kansas To Alaska, The Legacy Of Columbine

Third Day Of Moussaoui Trial Deliberations Ends With No Verdict

What? After the man admitting to conspiring to hijack a fifth plane and fly it into the White House? What the hell are they deliberating about?

Judge Threatening Mistrial In Terrorist Case

In the only trial in the United States involving a known conspirator in the September 11 terrorist acts, the judge is considering a mistrial. Why? Because he has reason to beleive that prosecutors have 'coached' their witnesses, which is indeed grounds for a mistrial. It seems that Carla Martin, an... Sign in to see full entry.
