"I think they're lying. Every one of them." What Will the Jury Think of YOUR Case?

(cartoon from AdamZyglis.com)
Want to know what the jury might think of your case? Here, courtesy of Blawg Review # 99 and several other linked connections, is the day-by-day journal of Juror #9 in the Scooter Libby Trial.
Here's a taste of the daily journal, beginning with the first day of deliberations.
"This is a case about memory, about recollections and about words." We've heard from the fighting Irishman and weeping Wells, a gaggle of Pulitzer Prize winners, and some of the best and brightest from the CIA, State Department, FBI and office of the Vice President. The Honorable Reggie Walton has just provided us final instructions.
Deliberations in the case of the United States vs. I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby in District Court for the District of Columbia are ready to commence, when one of the jurors offers an unsolicited statement regarding the solemn task before us.
"I think they're lying. Every one of them."
Better than all the Grisham you've ever read, yes? Thanks to all the intervening links: Blawg Review, Begging to Differ (author of Review No. 99) Real Lawyers Have Blogs and The Huffington Post.
