>>>Also keep in mind that when prosecuters smell blood, they go all out to make a name for themselves. They probably know that not all of the charges are sound, but will try to use less solid ones as throw-aways in case plea bargaining comes into play, or to make the more solid charges seem more likely.<<<

I made a similar point in an earlier post. Yup, the bail hearing frequently is a pile-on. But in this case, and with 9/11 being so sensitive and many unanswered questions still lingering relative to international finance, I think the point needed to be made. Do note that the prosecutor, responsibly made the comment in his argument that Elgindy may never be charged for 9/11-related acts.

I think, right now, it seems like everything is in balance for the upcoming trial which the media will likely sensationalize in the usual extraordinary ways. Where it all seems like more than a tickle is the operative question: Whose gonna get washed into the wake from all of this and it seems like some of the traditional short side gangbangers are a bit nervous. Rightfully so.

Call me long on justice. Ironically, Elgindy right now is long on justice since he sits in a presumption of innocence.
