Airliner bomb trial: 'Suicide' videos promised body parts on the streets
2008-09-09
The men had pleaded guilty to causing a public nuisance, claiming the videos were simply part of a propaganda stunt, and the jury was unable to agree on whether Savant, Khan, Zaman and Islam had intended to carry out their threats.
That's one dumb ass jury.

#2  Disgusting. And this is post September 11th jury. Hindsight isn't 20-20, is it?

I wonder if, on the morning of September 11th, 19 muslims had been pulled off four airline flights, would a jury have convicted or acted differently than the dumbass jury in the UK? At least a jury in the USA would have an excuse to the extent they were not deliberately in hindsight to a September 11th.

I only know what I read in the papers regarding the UK case. Were the prosecutors incompetent? I don't know.

I do know this: God help us.
