Libby trial has small town flavor
This is what seems to be the thrust of a Times article about the trial, which may start as early as today now that the week-long jury selection has ended.
The jurors include a woman who said she had worked for decades as a curator of prints and drawings at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and a retired postal worker who said in jury selection that Judge Walton sentenced her son to jail on drug charges years ago.
The jury includes a former reporter for The Washington Post who said his editor was Bob Woodward, a Post journalist who is expected to be a witness in the trial. The former Post reporter also said that until recently he was a neighbor of Tim Russert of NBC News, who is also expected to be a witness.
Top notch reporting, New York Times!
