I just don't see how it is fair to re-try Wecht after a mistrial, and more so that in the Watada case, the Courts ruled it would be double jeopardy to do so. http://www.talkleft.com/story/2008/10/22/0513/0219 Seems to me our legal system is hanging by a thread and most judges are as clueless to what justice really entails as are the would-be masters of planet who appoint them, pack the courts with 'em and appoint the (maddog politically-motivated) prosecutors to go 'get them'. Retrial info on Wecht here http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/08250/909966-85.stm and latest here with the full 44 page decision here. There never should have been a first trial against Wecht and a re-trial is in the cruel and unusual punishment range.....squared.
Justice? Not!
