This just in: the Associated Press is reporting that the jury is deadlocked in the second trial of six Miami men accused of plotting to destroy the Sears Tower in Chicago.

The judge in the latest trial has ordered the jury to deliberate some more -- even though they've been pondering the pointless case for 10 days. While they deliberate, you can read a New Times story about why the case against the alleged "terrorists" is flawed.
