So it is very feasible that they can find a sympathetic one or two. It's also not entirely out of the question that someone can come in with an agenda to set this guy free, cause a retrial etc by posing as someone who is fair minded and throw a monkey-wrench into the whole thing when it comes time to deliberate. That's a slim possibility but a possibility none the less.
Here is another small but significant piece of information I find intriguing and somewhat uncomfortable personally.
our laws state explicitly that the jury shall be made up of your peers.
do we have any peers for these men in america besides others of the islamic faith?
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
