More on Narseal Batiste

JUST IN CASE YOU ALL FORGOT ABOUT THE TERRORIST LIBERTY 7, WELL COURT IS IN SESSION AND THE BAD BOYS ARE CRYING FOR THEIR LIVES. THIS IS FROM THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT BLOG:

Today was Batiste's third day of testifying. I like the idea of him being called as a witness, but 3 days is too long to be up there... Jurors get bored. Anyway, he was crying today. Here's more from Curt Anderson:

Wiping away tears, the suspected ringleader of a budding terror cell testified Thursday that none of his six co-defendants were told about a plot to destroy the Sears Tower that the leader said he was making up to con a possible terrorism financier out of money.

Narseal Batiste, 33, said he did not inform his six "brothers" about plans he was describing to a Middle Eastern man who appeared to be an al-Qaida emissary, but who was in reality an FBI informant carrying a hidden tape recorder.

"Nobody knew about it. Like I said, this was imagination," Batiste testified. "I would have been deeply embarrassed if any of the brothers knew I was engaging in that kind of conversation."
Batiste got choked up after his attorney, Ana M. Jhones, asked how the "mission" of the six other defendants differed from the violent attacks he was discussing with the informant, a man he knew as "Brother Mohammed."

"The only mission the brothers had was just walking through the neighborhood and preaching about Jesus," Batiste said. A lunch recess was called after he became emotional and was unable to continue on the witness stand.

FIRST THEY HATE WHITE AMERICA {THE GREAT SATAN} AND NOW THEY PREACH JESUS! QUE COSA......THEY SHOULD HAVE RAISED $$$ FOR A SHELTER OR HELPING ORPHANS AND WIDOWS INSTEAD OF TRYING TO BLOW UP BUILDINGS AND BABIES....

TYPICAL THUGS, TOUGH ON THE OUTSIDE BUT PLACE THEM BEFORE THE JUDGE AND THEY MELT LIKE BUTTER.

My current favorite is "For U.S. Exporters in Cuba, Business Trumps Politics," which should be titled greed takes precedence over morality. And if I see that John Parke Wright one more time, I'm going to barf.
