Miss Kelly has several on this under-noticed case. See:
Update - Care International Trial in Boston - Wiretaps! Tourism!
Care International Trial - No Jihad Here, Just Idle Chit-Chat
And on the general subject of terror-trials: Prosecuting Terrorism Cases - Review of Capitol Hill Panel
Update (Bumped): Miss Kelly points to a new Worcester Telegram article with some interesting info: Waging Economic Jihad / Are Jewish Federal Agents Biased?. The Telegram article describes a hearing out of the presence of the jury involving 'Matthew Levitt, former Deputy Assistant U.S. Treasury Secretary for Intelligence and Analysis' and 'a former intelligence analyst for the FBI':
When he questioned whether Mr. Levitt, who did undergraduate work at Yeshiva University, studied the Torah, Judge Saylor interrupted to ask why he was asking. Mr. Zalkind said he was questioning Mr. Levitt’s biases and prejudices...
The spectacle of Zalkind questioning Levitt's status as a Jew and thus his ability to remain unprejudiced writes its own punch line.
Harvey Silverglate, Norman Zalkind, Susan Estrich...these guys certainly have a vigorous defense. See Miss Kelly's for more.
