The jury is not only sending Guandique to jail for life - think what they're doing to our thighs! _________________ "There is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known."

Well, I guess it's time I put on my "powerless" suit and go to work!
Through all of this, I have experienced to an even greater degree, the power of the press in forming public opinion. The prosecution engaged in a very, very lengthy campaign of molding public opinion and even included the WP in that molding.
I just have to say,though, that Anne-Marie Smith and Jim Robinson are very brave people. And, Jim was right to bring his side of the case to the press.
Some others just brought what they saw and heard to law enforcement.
In the end, the press, itself, was the victor. |

I'm concerned that the next news we hear - could be about
Guandique's suicide?
That would eliminate any appeals...

When does the gag-order come off the defense attorneys?
I know that Goz, Jane and I are "gagging" on all of this cake we have been eating! |

Hi rd, Rainbow, everyone! I don't think the defense will be doing a lot of talking even if no longer bound by the gag order - well not to reporters, anyway.
The jurors have made a pretty solid agreement not to say much of anything, but I imagine some among them could be more forthcoming in the future if some enterprising person finds them to interview.
rd, I still plan to work on the W map of Rock Creek Park (after a break). We won't give up trying to find out what really happened. _________________ "There is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known."

Hi Jane!
Why do you think the defense team won't be talking? |

Hi Rainbow! Well, Santha just does not seem to be the talkative type. And at this point, dropping any hints about Guandique's innocence isn't going to do him any good. I imagine that she will offer as much assistance as possible to any defense lawyer who takes up his case for appeals, though. _________________ "There is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known."
