What further proof is needed of Moussaoui's desire for martyrdom?
Convicted terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui, declaring his surprise at having received a fair trial, asked a federal judge Monday to allow him to withdraw his guilty plea so he can be tried again. This time he won't lie on the witness stand, he said.
Judge Leonie M. Brinkema quickly turned down the request. She said federal law prevents a criminal defendant from withdrawing a guilty plea after sentencing...
"His motion is too late and must be denied on this basis alone," she said.
Moussaoui, in a three-page affidavit filed in the U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Va., said he was "extremely surprised" that he received a fair sentencing trial over the last two months and admitted that he lied when he testified he had been preparing to fly a fifth hijacked plane into the White House on Sept. 11, 2001.
...
"If for some bizarre reason Moussaoui manages to get the trial redone," Tobias said, "they could finally get to execute him."
That IMO would be a mistake - for the reasons outlined in the previous post.
...
In his affidavit, Moussaoui said that because he was not given a Muslim defense lawyer, he didn't trust the American judicial process.
"I was sure that the justice system was just a charade and I would be given death," he said.
Learn something - too late, kid.
...
No, the more I think about it, the greater this stupid little kid's value must increase in the war against injustice.
HE MUST LIVE!!
