Terror trial jurors unanimous for Phillies

CAMDEN, N.J., Oct. 22 (UPI) -- Jury watchers at the New Jersey trial of five terrorism suspects say there is no doubt how the panel is leaning when it comes to the World Series.

Thirteen of the 18 jurors and alternates arrived at the Camden courthouse Wednesday decked out in Philadelphia Phillies gear to the amusement of the judge and lawyers, The (Newark, N.J.) Star-Ledger reported.

The National League champion Phillies from neighboring Pennsylvania open their quest for the championship Wednesday night against American League pennant-winners Tampa Bay.

The five foreign-born defendants may or may not be Phillies fans, but they are accused of being fanatics who plotted to attack U.S. soldiers at the nearby Fort Dix Army base.
