AUSTIN, Texas — Texas jurors in the money laundering trial of former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay are to return for their first full day of deliberations, one day after sending the judge questions seeking clarification about the criminal charge.

Senior Judge Pat Priest said he would address their concerns about the money laundering charge before they resumed their work Tuesday.

Prosecutors allege that DeLay helped illegally funnel $190,000 in corporate campaign donations to Texas legislative races in 2002 in a move that ultimately helped send more Republicans to Congress. DeLay has long denied any wrongdoing.

Among his own kind...

2. How many jurors are registered republicans?

[Brother Buzz]

7. Travis County leans blue

I'm sure the jury selection for the trial would have been interesting, to say the least.

3. This is Texas, is the death sentence on the table? Would be

if they were an independent nation as they'd like to be.

[Ian David]

4. Tom DeLay Lay Lay Lay is going to jail jail jail... n/t

10. IMHO: Texas will NEVER convict Tom Delay...

I HOPE I am wrong!

[BonnieJW]

12. Does anyone really expect

this guy to be convicted? In Texas? I'm thinking he'll be found not guilty and a hero.

[Mz Pip]

14. I agree

Tom will be walking around strutting his stuff like the cocky creep he is in a very short amount of time. :puke:

[Botany]

13. Huntsville, Texas has a place

[somone]

The system is rigged.
