Abrams Hopeful that Judith Miller Will Be Released Next Month, But Not Certain

NEW YORK Judith Miller of The New York Times, who's been incarcerated for two and a half months for refusing to testify about her source in the Valerie Plame case, is supposed to get out of jail late next month at the latest.

...

Although Miller is due to be released when the federal grand jury closes its investigation of the case on Oct. 28, special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald could seek an extension or ask that a new grand jury be convened.

"The prosecutor in open court talked about the possibility of convening a new grand jury," Abrams told E&P Monday, referring to the original sentencing hearing. When Miller was put behind bars on July 6, the sentence was for 18 months or until the grand jury ends its investigation.

"The sentence imposed by the judge would end on the 28th," Abrams said. "We're hoping that it will end then. I am just not going to go beyond that."

Who is Abrams? The court guy on MSNBC? or the gas attendent at my Phillips 66?

3. Not totally 100% sure,
but I believe Ms. Miller's attorney is Flloyd Abrams who happens to be Dan Abrams' father.

5. Floyd Abrams, attorney for Judith Miller
When it comes to Ms. Miller, one might suspect it means Eliott Abrams, neoconservative war criminal.

8. I think we should all look into this.
What do other journalists and more importantly other NYT co-workers think about her possibly still being on the payroll?

Would they get the same benefits she's getting if they went out and robbed a convenience store?
