Scooter Libby is Dropping His Appeal

December 10, 2007

Usually an innocent man doesn't drop an appeal if he knows he's innocent. Then again, Scooter Libby isn't an innocent man. His attorney is trying to have it both ways, claiming he is still innocent.

But this revealing paragraph tell a distinct tale: If Libby had won his appeal, he would be retried, and probably convicted. So if that happened, he'd be sentenced and likely the next president would decide if Libby was going to jail, not Bush.

Even if a federal appeals court overturned Libby's conviction, it would only lead to a new trial. If Libby were convicted again, a presidential commutation wouldn't apply, meaning he might have to serve jail time. And by that time, President Bush likely would be out of office.

Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson weighs in on the dropping of the appeal.
