Verdict in goggle case

Guilty on 3 conspiracy counts; not guilty on 3 substantive counts. A clear compromise...

I wonder how the prosecutor feels about this verdict against a pro-se woman who speaks English as a third language.... He did get a conviction. But he also lost 3 counts...

What a weird case. She comes to the U.S. voluntarily even though she never would have been extradited. Then she pleads guilty to a credit-time served deal. But the prosecutor asks to correct the sentence and Judge Cohn resentences her to 29 months. Then, she withdraws her plea because she understood that she would be sentenced to time-served. So trial it is.... And of course the jury hangs. She then decides to proceed pro-se, and she keeps the jury out for two days and is found not guilty on 3 counts. How bizarre...

Here is Vanessa Blum's coverage of the case. And Curt Anderson has an article for the AP here: Gholikhan said she would appeal and insisted the she is innocent. "I won't give up. It's OK. God is here," Gholikhan said in a brief courtroom interview. She appeared relieved that the trial was over.
