airdvr 210 #1 January 16, 2009 Yazeed Essa held on $75 million bond in wife's slaying Essa left the country because he feared his Arab-American heritage would preclude him from getting a fair trial, his lawyer said. Essa chose to return to fight the charges after Barack Obama was elected president because he sensed a shift in the political climate, Bradley said. If a man named Obama could be elected president, Essa reasoned, perhaps he could be judged fairly. Good luck with that Please don't dent the planet.
