Nope. The only experience I have is watching cheezy lawyer shows on television and geting my way out of being a juror on a few occasions. But this isn't about my credentials, is it? The reason behind the pardon is what is important.

The American and Australian prisoners of war who wrote [Toguri D'Aquino's] scripts assured her she was doing nothing wrong and immediately after the war General Douglas MacArthur's staff and the United States Justice Department cleared her of wrongdoing.
When the United States press caused an uproar over her attempt to return to the United States in 1948, Toguri was put on trial.

She was assured that she was innocent by the justice department, it was only upon returning the media decided to go after her. The trial was a joke.
The judge admitted he was prejudiced against her from the start. As someone who claims to be more experienced at the law than I, can you tell me what happens to a trial and verdict when a judge says he is prejudiced against the defendant in one of their cases?
/end threadjack with apologies
BUT....this isn't about Toguri D'Aquino. This thread is about Anne Coultier being on the cover of Time. Do you have any questions/comments about that? There is another thread about traitors going on right now that host made specifically for this threadjack.
