From the AP:
ALEXANDRIA, Va. - The judge in the death-penalty trial of confessed al-Qaida conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui warned prosecutors Thursday that they were moving their case into shaky legal territory.
“I must warn the government it is treading on delicate legal ground here,” U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema said at the conclusion of the day’s testimony, after the jury had left the courtroom. “I don’t know of any case where a failure to act is sufficient for the death penalty as a matter of law.” It seems to me that even if everything the feds claim about him is true, Zacharias Moussaoui is the Terry Nichols of 9/11. And Terry Nichols is still very much alive.
