For Jurors, Libby Might Be ‘Fall Guy,’ but He Was Guilty - New York Times

For Jurors, Libby Might Be ‘Fall Guy,’ but He Was Guilty - New York Times: "The jurors believed that I. Lewis Libby Jr. was a decent man, worthy of their sympathy. They believed what his chief lawyer, Theodore V. Wells Jr., told them at the outset: that Mr. Libby was at least partly “a fall guy” for others in the Bush administration.

But sadly for “Scooter” Libby, as he has been known since childhood, the jurors concluded that the facts pointed to his guilt. It was just too much of a leap for them to think Mr. Libby’s contradictory accounts were from a bad memory."
