It will be interesting to see what his attorney says, but unless the Feds have come and taken his cell phone, computer, and phone on his desk, there is nothing out there that can stop him from making a statement on behalf of the accused.

Interesting.... and unfortunate. UPDATE: I’ve learned the Anghaies’ attorney is being prevented by the court from issuing a statement at this time. Interesting…. and unfortunate.

Vuli Fri, 06 Nov 2009 03:59:59 +0000 http://www.jaxobserver.com/?p=7224#comment-4391 What’s really sad is how willingly everyone swallows everything they read in the press these days. Wake up people! This is nothing more than a reprint of a press release issued by the federal prosecutors themselves. Whatever happened to fair and balanced, objective, “getting both sides of the story,” investigative journalism? Sheer laziness, that’s what’s happened. It seems as if the bulk of American media doesn't bother to do any of their own investigating any more...or even bother to write their own stories in many cases. They just pick up their content from the AP. I strongly suggest every U.S. citizen read a book just recently published titled "Three Felonies a Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent" by Harvey A. Silverglate about U.S. Federal prosecutorial abuse. And in the meantime, I challenge the “journalist” who posted this story to actually research this case and get BOTH sides of the story, rather than just rearrange a few sentences from a dept of justice press release or an AP bulletin. Has anyone even tried to get a statement from the Anghaies' attorneys? What’s really sad is how willingly everyone swallows everything they read in the press these days. Wake up people!
