Libby Leak Trial May Be Delayed

The trial of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Cheney's former chief of staff, could be delayed, based on an appeal that a special prosecutor plans to seek in the case.

Special Counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald notified the court last night that he plans to appeal U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton's ruling this month on the standards the judge will use for determining which classified materials Libby may use as evidence in defending himself. Libby faces trial on charges of perjury, lying to investigators and obstruction of justice.

Got to run. I will enjoy my Turkey day with family. Cheers!

What a surprise. Now the appeal will clear up some of those questions. If Libby intends to appeal his guilty finding at lease the appeal judges wont have to review this decision again. Check Mate
