Greenberg) Organization: Time, Inc. - New York Lines: 28 Heather: Thank you for filling me in on some pertinant facts that, as you surmised, were not covered by our local media here. I apologize for doubting you. It's just that I'm used to people going off half-baked with inadequate data (like I did!). Just one more thought, though: You seem to feel that the jury, being primarily Portugeese, might have been lenient with the rapists. Isn't it supposed to be a jury of your peers? In this case it was. If I'm ever tried for a crime, I would hope to be tried by computer professional types. The odds of that are low, though, as we seem to be able to "get out off" jury duty pretty easily... -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Ross M.
