His first trial was declared a mistrial earlier this week because the judge said that Watada didn't understand one of the forms he signed admitting his guilt. He'll be tried again in mid-March.
And no, lefties, that's not double jeopardy. It would be if he had been found not guilty and they decided to try him again. A mistrial is like a judicial annulment.
Speaking of Liberal Celebrities.. have you checked out Rosie and Moby's blogs lately? I can't believe half the stuff they put out there for people to read. What's even more interesting is that they are supposed to be the "open minded" ones.
