My take: 1) This messy verdict speaks volumes. Even after weeks of testimony and underhanded government tactics, they could not convince 12 citizens that privacy software is money laundering. 2) The 1960 guilty verdict is plainly contrary to law -- but it's hard to blame the jury where the government so thoroughly distorted truth. It is imperative that DOJ clarify 1960 so this never happens again. 3) SDNY should not be permitted to retry the deadlocked charges. Most importantly, we stand with @rstormsf on all the next steps here.
