Hi Tool:

You don't get much impression of a jury, since they can't say anything. They were mostly black, attentive - a normal cross-section of Brooklyn I would say.

Breen impressed me as a diligent fellow - not in any way did he try to intimidate me while I was on the witness stand. He just tried to confuse me a bit with words and semantics. Seemed like a reasonable man doing his job professionally. I'm no judge of it, but I'm guessing he's highly capable. He spoke politely to me and everyone else, etc.

I can't square that impression with what still appears to be an exaggerated prosecution - sometimes I think it was more terrorism related - that the Justice Department wanted to pursue anyone who might have any terrorism links. But that's just a liberal's guess.
