5. Even the weather cooperated
After a long, long stretch of sunny, mild, absolutely gorgeous weather, this afternoon turned into a cold, rainy day. Low 40s, icy rain, howling winds. Not a day to be scampering out of the Federal courthouse downtown without a heavy coat or an umbrella.

I love DC juries, especially in Federal cases. They're smart, hard--working, fair, diligent, and really dangerous if you're a defendant.

Ted Stevens knows.

9. I haven't been following this - is he still in the Senate?
Someone should ask him if Palin promised to visit him.

10. What? He didn't wear his Hulk tie to hear his verdict?
Boy, he looks kinda stunned. Apparently, he didn't bring home enough bacon for everyone in Alaska.

12. That's why Uncle Teddy wanted the trial in Alaska

He knew a DC federal jury would fry his ass.

I salute the jurors of my former home :patriot:
