This was written by a friend who was at the trial yesterday. If you don’t know the story, start here. Ignore all links to kyfreepress, those posts have been moved here. Of all of the bullshit federal cases, this ranks among the bullshittiest. The first couple of hours on Monday were jury selection. There seemed to be 50-80 potential jurors. They filed into the court, and back out, and back in, and back out, and back in, and back out, and back in. They finally seated a jury, 12 jurors and two alternates, eight women and six men. I have little doubt the federal prosecutor was adept at selecting the jurors most inclined to believe that Sam must be guilty or their federal government wouldn't have charged him.
