----- Original Message ----- From: "Judi Bari vs. FBI Media Office" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 2002 9:47 PM Subject: [BariNews] We eagerly await a jury verdict, and believe it will come in the next two days. The Judi Bari Website is being updated daily with a new feature called Jury Watch, which appears at the top of the home page. Today's installment is copied below. ** Wednesday, May 29 -- Jury continues complicated task The jury deliberated today until 3 PM without asking any further questions or reaching a final verdict on the 8th day of deliberations. Yesterday they asked a question that suggested they have reached a verdict on some, perhaps most, of the claims. They will resume deliberating Thursday from 8:30 AM to 2:30PM. Judge Wilken told the jurors at the start that this trial might require two months of their time. This is the eighth week, and it is unlikely that the judge will require deliberations to continue beyond Friday at the latest, even if they can't reach a unanimous verdict on every one of the nine main claims against the seven remaining defendants. The jurors were told yesterday that any claims they can't reach a verdict on will have to be retried, which may have increased their motivation to decide them all. If they succeed, a verdict could be announced at any time. If not, the judge may well keep them deliberating through Friday before accepting a partial verdict. There is reason for hope that the jury will find substantially in our favor. It is inconceivable that they would take so much time if they were simply going to let the defendants off -- they could have done that in a day or two. Finding in favor of the plaintiffs requires much more work and time, because damages would likely be awarded to each plaintiff for each claim, and then the damages must be apportioned to each of the defendants. For an analysis of the Jury's complex task, requiring up to 188 separate unanimous decisions to decide all claims in favor of Judi and Darryl and award them damages, go tohttp://www.judibari.org/jury's_complex_task.html There's also an archive of Jury Watch that traces the day-by-day developments since the case went to the jury. You'll find it athttp://www.judibari.org/jury_watch.html There have been many other recent updates to the Judi Bari website, so check it out at www.judibari.org ------------------- There's another website with loads of information about the case. The San Francisco Independent Media Center has dedicated a feature section to coverage of the Bari vs. FBI trial. The site contains all the press releases and updates put out by the Bari vs. FBI Media Center, which is attached to the Oakland law offices of the Bari-Cherney legal team. The site also contains courtroom art by K. Rudin as well as photos, audio and video files from various sources. They include streaming audio and video from last Friday's Judi Bari Day rally at the Oakland Federal Building. The principle of the Indymedia movement is that anyone can publish their articles, images, audio and video files on the Internet. There is a Newswire section in the right column where people have done just that. Caveat lector (reader beware), however, because anyone can post anything using any pseudonym they choose, so there's plenty of troll droppings there too. Check out the SF Indymedia Bari vs. FBI feature page at http://www.indybay.org/features/judibari/ ------------------- "The Judi Bari Bombshell" is the cover feature article in the May 29, 2002 issue of the San Francisco Bay Guardian, a major alternative weekly. It's a good -- but far from perfect -- take on the trial. A couple of problems with the article: 1) The author relied on biased "research assistance" for the undeserved negative portrayal of our splendid legal team. 2) He left out one of the most key pieces of evidence, one that was talked about repeatedly throughout the trial, the ball-bearing motion device that triggered the explosion under Judi Bari's car seat. Investigators found a large ball bearing in the street at the bomb scene, and FBI lab expert David R. Williams identified it as part of a motion trigger that made sure the bomb would explode only when the car was in motion. No reasonable investigator would conclude that Judi Bari was knowingly carrying such a bomb under her own car seat, as the FBI and OPD claimed. --------begin quoted material------------ The Judi Bari bombshell Some truly startling revelations emerged from the Earth First! trial in Oakland. By A.C. Thompson ALL THE EVIDENCE in the Judi Bari bombing trial has been presented, and yet, maddeningly, the questions linger. We still don't know who planted the homemade, nail-studded pipe bomb in Bari's Subaru. And we still don't have conclusive proof that a secret law enforcement cabal tried to frame Bari and cohort Darryl Cherney. At press time, the jury, which began deliberating May 17, had yet to reach a verdict, and attorneys for the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Oakland Police Department were still fighting to get the case dismissed. But whatever happens, the trial, like the Warren Commission of the 1960s, or the Iran-Contra hearings, will do little to quell the conspiracy theories. Still, the six-week legal skirmish was hardly a snooze. Quite the contrary: some fairly blockbuster revelations leaked out - and for the most part, the daily papers have ignored them. -------end quote-------- To read the rest see http://www.sfbg.com/36/35/cover_judibari.html ------------------------------------------------------- Forwarding this message where appropriate is encouraged.
