Again, Govt’s Kooky Cult Terrorism Case Goes BustBack in December, jurors deadlocked on the Seas of David terrorism case. As I wrote back then:
The Miami “Seas of David” terror bust was such an important blow in the War on Terror that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales himself gave a press conference in July of 2006. Federal agents had stopped a plot to blow up the Sears Tower, he said. The group had planned to “accomplish attacks against America,” the FBI’s deputy director said at Gonzales side. “We pre-empted their plot.”
Well, a second trial has reaped the same result.
It’s no mystery why. I recommend to take a trip through our archives to get a feel for why the jurors might have balked.
