FBI Agents Contacted Wecht Jurors; Conyers is troubled.

TPM:

House Judiciary Committee Chair John Conyers (D-MI) on
today's story:
I am deeply troubled by reports of FBI agents contacting former jurors who failed to convict Dr. Wecht. Whether reckless or intended, it is simply common sense that such contacts can have a chilling effect on future juries in this and other cases. When added to the troubling conduct of this prosecution, there is the appearance of a win at all costs mentality. The committee continues to investigate this matter.

This will make a person think twice about wanting to be a juror. Now the Bush Law attacks a juror if you don't go in their favor even when a person is innocent. Why bother to have trials just take the person to jail.
