  2. Bored as we are, we're allowed to talk to each other about the case RT @emptywheel: @joshgerstein As opposed to the journalists?
  3. Fascinating fact: all alternate jurors at John Edwards trial wore yellow today. They seem to be getting a little stir crazy.

  5. John Edwards jury ends day 5 of deliberations with no verdicts returned. Back tomorrow. Planning usual short friday politi.co/KeghdB
  6. On day 5, John Edwards trial jurors signal new focus. Now mulling Fred Baron $. But hopes dim for pre-holiday verdict politi.co/Ku6Q9o
  7. Edwards jury asked for Baron's Chinese saying "use cash" note and 19 other exhibits. Judge gonna give em all exhibits. We lose that window
  8. Poss. sign of progress from John Edwards jury: they're now asking for Baron-related exhibits. Headed to lunch. Maybe tad less glum than yday

  13. Bradley Manning defense argues Espionage Act unconstitutionally vague and computer hacking law doesn't apply, per Nosal bit.ly/LrlzyH
  14. @joshtpm It undercuts Romney, but any part of that sluggish MA job creation attributable to Romneycare? GOP blames every US ill on Obamacare
  15. Brad Manning tried, w/o success MT @carolrosenberg: 9/11 defense want to Q Obama/Bush abt political influence at court ht.ly/b6YZH
  16. Judge orders DoD to fork over 3 videos of Guantanamo detainee 'cell extractions.' Doubts claim images can't be redacted politi.co/JrB9LT
  17. Almost provided spot news for bored Edwards trial crew after was told I couldn't bring in bberry I've brought for 5 weeks. They backed down.
  18. John Edwards jury ends day 4 of deliberations with no reported verdicts. Still glum.
  19. This is maddeningly counterintuitive RT @BuzzFeedShift: 9 ways French first couple is different from the Obamas: bit.ly/KUmuJd
