Apparently the jury wanted to know where Cheney and Rove were. Hopefully that picture will become clearer as time progresses.
CNN:
[I]n the final analysis, he said jurors found Libby's story just too hard to believe.
"It was just very hard to believe how he could remember it on a Tuesday and forget it on a Thursday and then remember it two days later," Collins told reporters outside U.S. District Court. "Having said that, I will say that there was a tremendous amount of sympathy for Mr. Libby on the jury."
"It was said a number of times, 'What are we doing with this guy here? Where's [Karl] Rove … where are these other guys?'
"We're not saying we didn't think Mr. Libby was guilty of the things we found him guilty of, but it seemed like … he was the fall guy."
Collins said the jury believed Libby was "tasked by the vice president to go and talk to reporters."
