1. It's not so easy to convict a person.
Reasonable doubt about Libby's memory is enough for a juror to say not guilty.

4. Fitz did a good job...Nine people had the same convo w Libby and he doesn't remember any of them?
Edited on Wed Feb-21-07 02:09 PM by emulatorloo
And the only conversation he remembers is one he completely made up?


And as to that made up conversation -- he knew something, and then he forgot he knew it, and then he learned it again as if for the first time?

Just not credible. (again who knows what a jury will do)

2. Have you thought this through?

How does paying off a juror get you a "Not Guilty" verdict? A hung jury, perhaps, but one paid juror ain't about to convince up to eleven others.

And, the risk to the juror being paid, and the risk to the payer, as well as those involved in such a conspiracy, are both pretty high.

3. How incredibly insulting.
Either everyone agrees with us or they've been bribed, which means that they really did agree with us, but got greedy.

Get real. LOTS of seemingly sane people disagree with us for free.

6. There is NO WAY that Chaney would have kept "Scooter" around if he has a "bad memory!"
This jury need to send the message with this verdict that the BS Reagan-defense of "I forgot" is B*llsh*t and we ain't buyin' it anymore.

Btw, I grew up with a physically damaged Short-term Memory, but when I was finally diagnosed with ADD at age 32, I was given medications that treat this sort of problem fairly well, so believe me, if he really had a "bad memory," he never could have reach the level of Chief of Staff for the Vice-President of the United States! Someone with a "bad memory" would have trouble just keeping a Jr. Staff position.

Most employer have little patience for someone who's forgetful and someone forgetting something like this? No Way! I doubt even I would have forgotten this.

This is "selective Amnesia." It's a LOT like when your Dad or Husband forgets where the glasses and plates go in the kitchen cabinets when he unloads the dishwasher. When he "forgets" where they go enough times, Mom stops asking him to unload the Dishwasher! See how that works?

Libby LIED. And his Lawyers are now lying! That's what the lawyers of clearly guilty people do.
