Judge Declares Mistrial For Six Of Liberty City 7, seventh Defendant Found Not Guilty by Jury.

MIAMI -- The judge in the trial of the so-called "Liberty City Seven" has declared a mistrial for six of the seven defendants.

Lyglenson Lemorin was the only defendant the jury could reach a verdict on, finding him not guilty on all four terror conspiracy counts.

Twice the jury had sent notes saying they were unable to decide the fate of the seven men who were accused of plotting to blow up the Sears Tower in Chicago and bomb FBI buildings in Miami and elsewhere, Local 10's Rad Berky reported.

The seven men charged were all allegedly caught on FBI surveillance video pledging support to al-Qaida, but the man leading the pledge was an FBI informant.

The US Gov is getting pretty desperate to prove that the Patriot Act works.. and its helping them catch terrorists.

The six can be tried again, the seventh is free from similar charges?

Do you know what a mistrial means?It means some in the Jury could not bring themselves to send these 6 to Jail.

Apparently The word "terrorist" was not good enough.. Not any more.. apparently you -now- need to prove they actually did something illegal.
