Legal Tag
Zacharias Moussaoui has been playing the equivalent of tag with our legal system for over a year. After much pushme/pullyou, he finally decides to plead guilty. Of his own. free. will.Then he is stunned. STUNNED, I tell you, when the jury gives him a life sentence in the most unfriendly and inhospitable of venues after he brazenly and smugly (even gleefully) admits to planning to fly a fifth plane on 9/11. But now? Now he feels unjustly treated and wants to withdraw his guilty plea. Imagine what his next move would have been had the jury given him the needle.
Stupid SOB deserves to rot in hell for eternity.
After proclaiming all sorts of stupid things - like shouting that he had won with the jury handed down his sentence - he now has this to say:
“I had thought I would be sentenced to death based on the emotions and anger toward me for the deaths on Sept. 11, but after reviewing the jury verdict and reading how the jurors set aside their emotions and disgust for me and focused on the law and the evidence ... I now see that it is possible that I can receive a fair trial even with Americans as jurors.”
Yeah, well it turns out that Americans in general are more forgiving and reasonable that your average jihadist. Go freakin' figure.
