"If he goes to Supermax in Florence, Colorado he will live for a very long time."

They said on O'reilly's last night it would be SuperMax for him, but it was never explained how / whom gets to go there and who decides ??

"I wonder what all the "I Glad he got life" ,"Denied him Martyrship" crowd will say when
30-40 American Hostages are displayed on the tube with black clad knif wielding terrorist
demanding his release.
What will they say when the first one is beheaded?"

Even if got the DP, it takes years to care it out in this country so your scenario could have still happened !!

I'll say that if it wasn't him they were demanding in trade, it'd be the blind sheikh or someone else.

Why not KSM? Or Bin al-Shibh? Or Reid?

What in the world is the difference?

So you're thinking that Lance is lying when he says the FBI set up a sting operation but cancelled it when it was discovered that Yousef was able to talk with operatives overseas and order fake passports? I don't quite get where you're going with this.

My original post was that I'm not pleased that Moussy is alive because it's entirely possible that he'll find a way, through a guard or doctor to communicate with other jihadists or with Yousef. And my post illuminated that even in solitary confinement in this particular federal prison, it's entirely possible that Moussy will find a way to communicate with other jihadists.

I am saying those jurors by their decision are enablers of terrorism.

If a jury of one's peers doesn't signify a jury of like minded individuals, what the heck does it signify?

The Constitution plainly calls for, "an impartial jury."

I'm saying that Lance appears to be relaying a big story with evidence sufficient to support a little story.

He paints Yusef as some kind of jihadi puppeteer from inside a supermax.

No, I don't believe it.

Gotcha. Voting to send a terrorist to a supermax for life in 'enabling.'

Worst thing of all - they did NOT find him to be crazy, etc - they basicall threw out ALL of the mitigating circumstances his attorneys put out there.

I'd like to know who these people on the jury are - They should not have had the right to make this obviously incorrect and harmful decision on behalf of all US citizens. This should have been a military trial.

Oh well, I'll just sit back and feel good about how fair and merciful we are, while the terrorists laugh and pack their explosives... Sad sad sad.

Does anybody know when exactly Zacarias Moussaoui will finally be in his cell where he will spend the rest of his life? Now? Or next week? What's the process?

there has never been any decision holding that jurors must have similar avocations or criminal experiences as the accused

No, but there have been countless rulings allowing jury tailoring, that is throwing out jurors thought likely to convict, or likely to acquit on the prosecution side. Impartial does not mean totally uniformed.

Go read the jury questionnaire in the Moussaoui case and see if you don't think many of the questions are designed to allow just such tailoring. Jurors can be challenged for cause, if one side or the other can convince the judge they would not be "impartial", but somehow the practice has become that they, the lawyers, can have jurors "de selected" for no stated reason at all. That, and allowing questionnaires such as the one issued in this case, to be given to the jurors. Under today's procedures, small towns would never have been able to try cases, because virtually everyone in town would know one or more of the principals in the case, and would have some pre-knowledge of the case.

Another egregious practice is not allowing jurors to apply their professional or particular expertise to arguments in the jury room. Thus a PhD physicist, or just any physics major or engineering major, could not use their expert knowledge to argue that the explanation of one side or the other's explanation of events would require a violation of the known laws of physics, (conservation of mass/energy, conservation of momentum, etc). He couldn't even point out where an "expert" witness was wrong about something like that. That's not justice, it's injustice disguised under the forms of law.

No FReeper should make the mistake of assuming that because the conditions of imprisonment would be harsh to them, the conditions will necessarily be intolerable to him. He's already spent four years in solitary lockdown and was pleased to gloat when he received a life sentence. He's done four years, and he can just as easily do 50.

He's a homicidal sociopath. He's not a "people person." He is no great wit, bon vivant, or learned and accomplished man. He will not be haunted by the thought that there will be one to laugh with, or depressed by the realization that he will be be kept sequestered apart from the wider world, its beauty, and its opportunities.

If he is angry at all, it is because he will likely never have a chance to commit the mass murders of Americans including the jurors who spared his life.
