		<description><![CDATA[Well, it&#8217;s over.  After two days of testimony, the defendant changed his plea to guilty, joining the 17 other defendants in this cocaine-conspiracy case. I have to say that this was a fascinating experience; almost every aspect of it was interesting, although the way the information came in was often extremely boring.  On Thursday from [...]]]></description>

That&#8217;s right folks, it&#8217;s jury duty! In an [...]]]></description>
