re: #104 filetandrelease

I only asked the question earlier because someone had asked how do they expect to get a trial of their peers, or a fair trial. It seems an obvious ploy to try and stack the jury with Muslims. But as you point out, not necessarily.

O fully agreed, but I’d be much more likely to stack the jury with Quakers than muslims if I was the defence. If anything a muslim on the jury would be more likely to convict simply to avoid the type of accusations being levelled in this thread.

I was trying to think of precedent for this type of trial, anyone think Noriega might be an example? I’m a wee one of 21, so I don’t remember the whole Panama thing, but I do know he ended up being tried in the US, so on the surface it looks like it might be relevant.
