  COURT TV ONLINE - RUDIN
Vest said he was also convinced by a directive Ron Rudin had placed in his will, ordering his beneficiaries to take "extraordinary steps" to investigate his death if he was killed violently and to cut whoever committed the murder out of his will.
Her problems continued Tuesday when Vest wrote two letters to the judge asking that she be thrown off for failing to deliberate, being overemotional and concealing a domestic violence incident from the court which the foreman feared had made her "bitter" toward authorities.
Vest, who wore cowboy boots with golden tips and donned a tie with a gold 'Teachers Rule' pin before doing interviews after the verdict, said he believed he was uniquely qualified to broker a deal and that some guiding force led him to remain on the jury and be the foreman.

 YourArt.com >> Encyclopedia >> holdout   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Most of the holdout devices used today were invented in the 19th century.
In effect, this is as if the cheat was dealt a bonus card, so that he may decide which combination of cards he likes best and finally discard the unwanted one, only to possibly use it on the next round (or at least switch it for a better one).
More generally, the term holdout may refer to the refusal by a negotiator to come to terms in the hope of obtaining a better deal later.

Vest Holdout - A kind of holdout machine (a mechanical device enabling thieves to surreptitiously hold out which means a player removes one or more cards from play for later introduction.
Holdout machines use to be more popular many years ago, but are not often seen now, probably because thieves are becoming more sophisticated, and also because being caught with one is dangerous).
A vest holdout is worn under a thief's coat.

Willis Vest, a BellSouth employee who left the jury because of migraines that got progressively worse during 17 days of deliberations, said Wednesday that despite Scrushy's acquittal, he thought that federal prosecutors made a convincing presentation.
In a post-verdict interview Tuesday, eight jurors offered various reasons for their decision to acquit: inconsistencies among some of the statements by the cooperating witnesses; the lack of a document or e-mail or memo from Scrushy showing knowledge of the fraud; and the inconclusiveness of the recorded conversations.
Vest said several were "pretty stuck" in their beliefs.

A machine worker is basically a "holdout man" except that a holdout man does not necessarily resort to the use of a holdout machine.
The big disadvantage of a holdout machine is that if discovered, they provide incriminating evidence of cheating.
Today it is extremely difficult to find a holdout machine for sale although in the past they used to sold through mail order catalogs, by gambling supply houses.

 A Stitch in Haste The Politics of Pull -- A Cyberspace Case Study
Vest is the chief executive of True.com, an online dating service that pledges to verify whether your dream date is a convicted felon or, worse yet, already married.
Vest has managed to convince legislators in states including California, Texas, Virginia, and Michigan to sponsor bills that would target rival dating sites like Match.com, Yahoo Personals, Spring Street Networks, craigslist and eHarmony.
Hopefully this obnoxious maneuver by Vest will wither on the vine as its sheer stupidity, not to mention its fundamental unfairness, are exposed by the media and the blogosphere.

 HealthSouth chief found not guilty / Scrushy acquitted despite testimony by former aides
A turning point came last week when one juror, who has identified himself as Willis Vest, was dismissed because of an illness and replaced by an alternate.
Vest, a BellSouth employee who was let go from the jury after suffering from severe migraine headaches, said he had been one of two holdout jurors who argued that Scrushy was guilty.
Some outside legal experts said Tuesday that the government might have erred in not seeking to hold the trial away from Birmingham, where Scrushy was well known for his lavish lifestyle and his generous philanthropy before he was fired in March 2003, as the accounting scandal drove HealthSouth to the brink of bankruptcy.

The Duce Staley holdout sideshow ends not with a bang, but a whimper Sunday as Duce joins the team for practice and then mixes with fans at the Linc carnival.
The holdout didn’t accomplish much for a chastised Duce, whom the Eagles intend to fine more than $100,000 for missing training camp, according to reports.

Of course, these things did not come to pass, and it's likely that the pile o' crap is a holdout from this sort of thing-- that or Hasbro just wanted to see if you were paying attention.

Jimmy Spencer, one of the final two holdouts to wear a device, said his fellow competitors are pushing him to reconsider, and he might start wearing one as early as next week.
The latest holdout to reconsider was Dale Earnhardt Jr., who donned a system of straps and belts called the Hutchens device after drivers Terry Labonte, Dale Jarrett and others counseled him on the benefits.
But it's possible he could take it off before Saturday night's Sharpie 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway, where speeds only average 125 mph around the.533-mile bullring.
