the point is, that was as sympathetic a defendant as you will ever find, and "the last hope" does not begin to cover how futile that idea is.

Then your point has no validity, how can he have been a sympathetic defendent when the jury wanst allowed to hear that the marijuanna was for medicinal use? After the jury convicted him they found out that the marijuanna was for medicinal purposes and 8 of them wrote a letter to the judge telling him to pretty much overturn the verdict.


Sure prosecuters try to weed out jurors that aren't favourable for their case but are you forgeting the defence also gets to do this???
I believe that a FT Pro would not get convicted one way or the other, and am suprised to hear you have a law degree because you seem to have the belief that becasue somebody is charged they will get convicted 100% no ifs, ands, or butts.
There are always leaks in cases, and sometimes the leaks are big enough for the case to get thrown out. It's not Guilty till proved Innocent, it's Innocent till proven Guilty

Hellmuth on the stand:
"What don't you understand??? I'm the 10x Champion of Holdem!"

Get up from the stand so he can walk away for a bit (to do his I'm steaming and need to cool down walk). Judge orders him to sit down. Phil: "Jesus F$@$ing christ can't a man go to the bathroom".

There is no way JESUS and HOWARD can sleep at night if there involvement in FULLTILT is as stated in this thread.

Would anticipate them pulling out any day.

fishhead is probably a planted DOJ agent lol.

Seriously, the bill was aimed toward making it more difficult to transfer money onto said sites and less on the site itself. Plus, they're sort of a 3rd party on this one. They were doing work programming for a foriegn company (where e-gaming is legal). They are not responsible for what the company decides to do with said product.
