you have a good point, really all we know is what's been reported by CR. no way we can really know how this played in court, live... you mentioned in an earlier post you thought the prosecution was fumbling around. i guess they could be, but that doesn't seem to be how CR saw it. from what CR reported, the prosecution seems to have made a case for extortion and inside information... and there has been no understandable defense (reported by CR). hey maybe like you say the jury is confused... although if they saw it like CR, the only confusion is what to get for lunch. according to CR's reports, every witness for the defense was a disaster, painting ap as a liar or supporting the prosecution's case. and fyi, i'm not here to kick ap when he's down. the times i was on his site a number of us (as a group) worked like a well oiled machine exposing some very bad people... exposing some fantastic scams... we conducted some very fine research and had fun doing it. i don't see CR reporting any of that, maybe its coming out in trial, maybe not. but then, it's really not the issue is it? the issue is extortion and using fbi info... i think a reasonable person could argue using the good work we did exposing scams is a just an attempt to divert attention from the prosection's allegations... The jury has now heard from two sources, in two different areas of law enforcement, that Anthony sought to work with the government. The fact that he was involved in market price fixing certainly doesn't earn him any credits in the jury box but it does hammer home the fact that he testified for the SEC.
