Angry judge puts Moussaoui trial on hold

[Dirtybird12]

ALEXANDRIA, Va. - An angry federal judge unexpectedly recessed the death penalty trial of confessed al-Qaida conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui to consider whether government violations of her rules against coaching witnesses should <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11808377/" target="_self">remove the death penalty as an option</a>.

<p>While this guy is a douche, this is a pretty monumental and retarded fuck up on the part of the government...</p><p>&nbsp;</p>Brinkema said a lawyer for the Transportation Security Administration sent e-mail to seven Federal Aviation Administration officials outlining the prosecution&rsquo;s opening statements and providing commentary on government witnesses from the first day of testimony. That was in violation of her pretrial order barring witnesses from exposure to any opening statements or trial testimony. <p>&nbsp;</p><p class="textBodyBlack">&ldquo;An attorney for the TSA ... egregiously breached that order,&rdquo; she told jurors before excusing them until Wednesday. Of the seven, three were to testify for the government and four were potential defense witnesses. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p class="textBodyBlack">Durrrrrrrrrr...</p><p class="textBodyBlack">Basically, this potentially could prevent the death penalty from being issued...whether this holds or not, he's still in jail for the rest of his life.</p>

But this will deprive him of his 72 virgins.&nbsp; Cruel and unusual punishment.&nbsp; For his own benefit, let the death penalty be an option.

<p>From what i got from this case its an admission to guilt on his behalf, Just like Timothy McVeigh admitted for his part in the Oklahoma City bombing. End the red tape already and send him to his 72 virgins</p>
