Exhibits that should not have gone to the jury room are at the center of a debate about whether there will be a do-over in a high-profile Dallas trial. The case involves five men who worked for the Richardson, Texas-based Holy Land Foundation, a now-defunct Muslim charity that federal prosecutors allege funded terrorists in the West Bank and Gaza — allegations the defendants deny.

Holy Land Foundation, et al. — declared a mistrial in the case. Fish, who took senior status on Nov. 12, 2007, transferred the HLF case to U.S. District Judge Jorge A. Solis, who has scheduled a retrial for Sept. 8.
