Libby verdict reached:

AP says top of hour announcement.

[sorry if this is a db]

 

Expect some celebrity to "accidentally" OD within the hour so this gets completely buried/ignored.

 

I don't think there's anything to bury.
I think the bastard walks.

 

Actually, I think the jury held out to avoid being buried along with Anna Nicole.

 

I agree. I think he goes free. They don't deliberate this long if they think he's guilty, although it seemed like every witness contradicted his timeline.

 

Here it comes...

 

Guilty on counts 1, 2 4 and 5.
Not Guilty on 3.

Counts 1-2, 4-5 are:

Obstrux of justice, providing false statements to the FBI and two counts of perjury to the grand jury.

 

And that is why I don;t go to the track very much.
Sing, you sorry bastard!

 

Shocking!

Next: Libby turns Sammy "the Bull" Gravano and takes down Cheney (Gotti). Implicates W and Pelosi becomes President.

 

Don't feel bad. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

What was count 3?

 

A count of making false statements.

 

Count 3 was the "false statement" count regarding Matt Cooper of TIME. It was the one the jury had the most questions about and was, frankly, the weakest of the five.
Can I say for the record that I never want Patrick Fitzgerald after my sorry ass? Doesn't leak. Doesn't speak. Doesn't over-charge. Only brings what he can prove and is a bulldog on his feet.
Chicago can be proud.
