More on the Wecht Political Show Trial
Well, it appears that things are getting weirder in the aftermath of the Cyril Wecht trial.
First, the judge has placed a gag order on the jury until after the retrial, which was described by Wecht's lawyer, and I agree, as extremely unusual.
Among other things, I would assume that the Lawyers would not want to talk to the Jurors to get some insights for the retrial.
In any case, some of the jurors talked, and it's clear that the majority though that they should acquit.
I will note that from what I've read Schwab appears to be a complete political hack, and a disgrace to the bench. Harper's Scott Horton has more details.
Also, this interview with a dismissed (for health reasons) juror speaks volumes.
