Prosecutors Want Moussaoui Trial in October

[NVMojo]

Federal prosecutors yesterday urged a judge to set the trial of terrorism suspect Zacarias Moussaoui for October, moving quickly after the U.S. Supreme Court declined this week to enter the long-delayed case.

In a motion filed in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, prosecutors said jury selection should begin Oct. 3, with opening statements scheduled for Oct. 31. Defense attorneys, who are expected to respond, declined to comment yesterday.

U.S. District Judge Leonie M. Brinkema has yet to rule on the prosecution request. If she agrees, it would set the stage for the first trial in a U.S. courtroom of a suspect accused in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon.

Moussaoui, a French citizen, was charged in December 2001 with conspiring with al Qaeda in the attacks. He has pleaded not guilty but admitted to being an al Qaeda member.

1. It only took 1 year to convict original WTC bombers...

If this guy Moussaoui is so damm guilty, how has he outlasted the Attorney General (Ashcroft) that should have seen him convicted and rotting in prison for life (at least) or given the gas chamber?

Shouldn't this guy be Ashcroft's life's work? Convicting the *one* guy we can pin being a part of 9/11 on??

Does this here Bush-run Justice Dept even have a case?

"Convictions over World Trade Center bombing

Four Muslim fundamentalists were convicted on March 4 on charges arising from the bombing of the World Trade Center in New York on Feb. 26, 1993. After deliberating for five days, the federal jury found the defendants guilty on all counts, including conspiracy, explosives offences, and assault. Due to be sentenced on May 4, the four men faced maximum sentences of life in prison without parole."
