| BEAVERS: Back on hold |
For on the day we thought that jurors would face
questioning to find out just how clueless they are about the local political
scene, U.S. District Judge James Zagel decided to postpone the matter until
Jan. 31.
IT SEEMS THAT one of the attorneys has become ill.
Pushing forward with the trial while a significant part of Beavers’ defense
would have become a sure-fire grounds for overturning any verdict this jury
would reach.
And the judge decided that putting the trial on hold
for a week or so would push the eventual verdict right into the heart of the
Christmas holiday.
Just think of how peeved people would have been if
they would have had to spend their Christmas waiting to find out what would
become of William Beavers. Not that anybody seems concerned that the trial
would have impinged on Hannukah (although I doubt many practicing Jewish people
would have been so obsessed as some become when “Christmas” is brought into the
conversation).
So the bottom line is that Beavers won’t spend this
Christmas pondering his fate, and possible arrival date to prison.
HE’LL EVEN GET to spend a Happy New Year in Chicago.
But just think of what this will do to his Valentine’s
Day!
And no, I don’t want to read any wisecracks about what
the “hog with the big nuts” does on the day dedicated to romance.
