After the jury left the courtroom yesterday, defense attorney F. Montgomery Brown asked the prosecution to turn over all evidence — if it hasn’t already — related to transcripts or summaries of interviews of witnesses by government agents after the immigration raid.

When presented with a written record on cross-examination, most of the witnesses have said they don’t remember any specifics about the interviews. Others said they don’t remember doing any interviews.

It's The Jews Again!

Jerusalem (SatireWire.com) Update — Jews, whose troubled, 10,000-year term as G-d's “Chosen People” finally expired last night, woke up this morning to find that they had once again been hand-picked by the Almighty. Synagogues across the globe declared a day of mourning.

Asked if the descendants of Abraham shouldn't be pleased about being tapped for an unprecedented second term, Jerusalem Rabbi Ben Meyerson shrugged. “Of course, you are right, we should be thrilled,” he said. “We should also enjoy a good swift kick in the head, but for some reason, we don't.

”Now don't ask such questions until you watch the news, or read history, or at least rent 'Fiddler on the Roof'.“

Much of the world's re-blessed Jewish community shared that feeling. ”It's always been considered a joke with us. You know, 'Please G-d, next time choose someone else,' ha ha," said New York City resident David Bashert.
