Muschany case goes to the jury

The fate of former Rep. Scott Muschany, R-Frontenac, is now in the hands of the jury, according to St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter Tony Messenger's latest Twitter comment.

I asked in an earlier post how it was so easy for Muschany's mock jury to find him not guilty (five minutes of deliberation). Apparently, I am not the only one to pose the question. The following item was posted today on the Riverfront Times website, one of those which had no problems with making a big deal out of the mock jury story:

Former state legislator Scott Muschany (R-Frontenac) may have won the mock trial his attorneys put on last week. But it appears that he's losing the real trial this week on charges of deviate sexual assault and exposing himself to a minor. Yesterday a 14-year-old girl testified that she awoke in her bedroom to find a naked Muschany putting her hand on his penis. Muschany called no witnesses. Closing arguments are today.
