Unexpected recess in Moussaoui trial
2006-04-18
ALEXANDRIA, Virginia - The judge in the death penalty trial of confessed Al Qaeda conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui called an unexepected recess in the case on Monday and convened a closed session.

US District Court Judge Leonie Brinkema called prosecution and defense lawyers to the bench as soon as she entered the courtroom on Monday morning after a weekend break. She told the lawyers she was taking them into another courtroom for a closed session. “We need to take care of a matter,” Brinkema said, giving no explanation for the unexpected recess.

Moussaoui, who is facing a possible death sentence for his role in the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington, was allowed to attend the session but the jury, reporters and people not directly connected with the case were not.

#4  Just hang that wicked bastard. The fear of making him a martyr is lame. The islamofascists can always create all the martyrs they choose to on the cheap all the time anyway.

#3  How about we "take care of a matter" for the American people and just hang the ignorant murdering SOB. I suppose we should count ourselves lucky that his accomplices all died in the act as opposed to having parachuted out at the last minute. The legal system would have a real time of it with the whole lot.

"It has come to my attention that the defendant does not yet have a pony...."
