	<abstract><![CDATA[<p>Former prosecutor Victoria Toensing has an op-ed in the Washington Post today (debunked nicely by <a href="http://noquarter.typepad.com/my_weblog/2007/02/delusional_rede.html">Larry Johnson</a>) outlining <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/02/16/AR2007021601705_pf.html">her case for Scooter Libby&amp;#39;s acquittal</a>. In two words: jury nullification. 

<p>(Thanks, Victoria, for attempting to personally smear the prosecutor on the eve of closing arguments. I bet if a true criminal defense lawyer wrote an article like that you&amp;#39;d accuse him or her of trying to influence the jury pool.) </p>

<p>Toensing is playing to the court of public opinion...</p></p>]]></abstract>
