Libby will file a motion for a new trial

[pnwmom]

and if that's denied, will appeal the conviction.

That's what Libby's attorney says.

Dan Abrams said it is almost certain that the judge won't grant a new trial.

1. "totally, innocent. totally innocent" LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

2. Sounds like that's pretty routine. He won't get it

The rest of them have too much to lose to risk another trial

[pnwmom]

4. Abrams says that it's Walton who would have to grant one,

and I agree -- I can't imagine Walton doing that.

12. Me, neither. But we'll have to sit tight and see

Meanwhile, :donut:

3. Talking head attorney on CNN made a good point - 1 not guilty makes for

a difficult motion to retry or an appeal. Shows some thoroughness on the part of the jury.

[pnwmom]

5. Good!

10. They probably thought he was guilty on that count too but had reasonable doubt. nt

6. can Libby now be disbarred?

just asking

[pnwmom]

8. Yes. Will he?

:shrug:

[bpeale]

11. I would love to see him disbarred

and then working for minimum wage trying to pay off a $1m fine. that would be perfect.

7. Who are the judges on the appeal path?

And who appointed them? It's kind of sad that this even has to asked.

9. They'll drag it out until official presidential pardon time

After the appeals he might spend a couple of months at Club Fed. Of course if the appeals are dismissed it's a whole new ball game.
