NYC Judge Releases Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Nine Others, After Palin Post “Poisons Jury Pool”

No, that hasn’t happened.

But it would be a well-spun karmic boomerang if the Rogue Rube’s latest Facebook emission winds up entered as “Exhibit A” in a Defense case arguing that the ten Gitmo detainees slated for trial in a New York federal court can’t get a fair hearing anywhere in the US. 

Following the obligatory grave-robbing emotional appeal and bank-shot Obama-slam, Palin serves up a predictable chum-bucket of boob-bait, depicting the American justice system as a frivolous impediment to vengeance and closing with an invitation to a lynching. 

It is crucially important that Americans be made aware that the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks may walk away from this trial without receiving just punishment because of a “hung jury” or from any variety of court room technicalities. If we are stuck with this terrible Obama Administration decision, I, like most Americans, hope that Mohammed and his co-conspirators are convicted. Hang ‘em high.

New joke: What’s the difference between a Mad Dog and a Hockey Mom? A ghostwriter. (Commenters are welcome to submit alternate, funnier, punchlines.)

Manson Guilty, Nixon Declares

On August 4, despite precautions taken by the court, Manson flashed the jury a Los Angeles Times front page whose headline was “Manson Guilty, Nixon Declares,” a reference to a statement made the previous day when U.S. President Richard Nixon had decried what he saw as the media’s glamorization of Manson. Voir dired by Judge Charles Older, the jurors contended that the headline had not influenced them. The next day, the female defendants stood up and said in unison that, in light of Nixon’s remark, there was no point in going on with the trial.[122] On October 5, after being denied the court’s permission to question a prosecution witness whom the defense attorneys had declined to cross-examine, Manson leaped over the defense table and attempted to attack the judge. Wrestled to the ground by bailiffs, he was removed from the courtroom with the female defendants, who had subsequently risen and begun chanting in Latin.[54] Thereafter, Older allegedly began wearing a revolver under his robes.[54]

Oh, wait, no you can’t.
