Moussaoui Update
Zacharias Moussaoui may plead guilty!Zacarias Moussaoui has notified the government that he intends to plead guilty
to his alleged role in the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks and could enter the
plea as early as this week if a judge finds him mentally competent, sources
familiar with the case said yesterday....
In recent letters to the government and to Brinkema, Moussaoui said he is willing to accept the possibility of a death sentence, which sources said could resolve a key point of contention: Prosecutors are unlikely to drop their insistence on capital punishment. If Brinkema accepts a plea, she would then probably set a death penalty trial, at which jurors would decide if Moussaoui should be executed.
Sometimes I think there should be a fate worse than death.
