#1 Wow...I stand corrected on Brinkema. I had thought she was a card carrying member of the LLL when she threw out some government evidence. But...I hereby eat crow and apologize for mis-judging her.

#2 Naawww, mjh, Brinkema's cool. You're just not used to a judge actually following the law. ;-)

#3 Jeez.... I'm gonna need the braille version of RB pretty quick. I thought the headline said Pinball Jihadis. Use the flippers in a game of skill to keep the pinball from reaching the bus.

#5 The full text of the judges memorandum can be read here.

Additional: A fourth defendant who had been on trial, Caliph Basha ibn Abdur-Raheem, was acquitted on all charges midway through the trial after Brinkema said she no saw evidence linking him to the conspiracy in any meaningful way.
Six members of the alleged conspiracy have already pleaded guilty to various charges related to the alleged conspiracy. Four were sentenced to prison terms ranging from 4 years to 11 Â½ years. Two others pleaded guilty and have yet to be sentenced, but face mandatory minimum sentences of 20 and 15 years. Five of those who entered guilty pleas testified for the prosecution at trial. Prosecutors could seek to have their sentences reduced if they are deemed to have cooperated with the investigation.
