The North Virginia jury of nine men and three women, (specially selected for thair partiality to handing down death sentences) after 7 days deliberations rejected prosecutors' arguments that Moussaoui should be executed for the 9/11 attacks that killed almost 3,000 people. Moussaoui, 37, pleaded guilty in April 2005 to conspiracy charges linked to the attacks.

The 42 page jury form (see earlier post) on the first of the three death-penalty counts, nine agreed that his unstable childhood and violent father counted as a factor against a death sentence. No juror counted the defense's claim that he was schizophrenic as an argument in his favor.

3 jurors decided Moussaoui had only limited knowledge of the Sept. 11 plot and 3 described his role in the attacks as minor ..... if he had any role at all.

Moussaoui's lawyers argued that his only role in the Sept. 11 attacks was ``in his dreams.'' The lawyers acted over his objections, and he denounced them from the witness stand.

The verdict ``represents the end of this case, but not an end to the fight against terror,'' Bush said... "we can be confident. Our cause is right, and the outcome is certain: Justice will be served. Evil will not have the final say. This great Nation will prevail." In the short statement he never mentioned Zacarias Moussaoui once, which is just as well.

Moussaoui shouted: "America, you lost. I won," and clapped his hands as he was escorted away.

Pipeline News the RIGHT News.. RIGHT now says ..

"A nation unwilling to destroy vermin like Moussaoui is a nation incapable of defending itself."
