Default Holy Land Foundation Verdict In

....and it's not good.


Holy Land Foundation defendants face mixed verdicts

The original chairman and director of endowments of the Holy Land Foundation was found not guilty of supporting terrorism by sending money to charity committees controlled by Hamas.

The jury in the terrorism-financing trial was unable to reach unanimous decisions on three of the six defendants, U.S. District Judge Joe Fish said Monday as he unsealed their verdicts.

On two others, they were able to reach unanimous decisions on some of the counts — including those charges against Mohammad El-Mezain, the original chairman of what was once the largest Muslim charity in the U.S. On only one defendant were they able to reach unanimous decisions on all counts."

I read last week---during their deliberations---that there was ONE JUROR who refused to change his/her mind or even vote.

...."the foreperson told the judge in a note that one of the panelists was refusing to vote."

This juror may have had his/her own agenda. Also, they said the evidence---trial was 16 weeks long----was quite mind-numbing. Financial matters and conspiracy related to such is very difficult for some people to grasp. I don't know their education level---but may not have been able to follow.
