Lawyers: Moussaoui Unfit to Plead Guilty

[dArKeR]

Lawyers for alleged Sept. 11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui argued Friday that their client is incompetent to plead guilty to crimes that carry a possible death sentence.

The filing came just hours ahead of a hearing before U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema, who earlier in the week met with Moussaoui and determined he was competent to enter such a plea.


In the latest strange twist in a case that has been full of them, Moussaoui's lawyers filed papers under seal at the federal courthouse in Alexandria, Va., titled, "Sealed Suggestion of Defense Counsel as to Defendant's Incompetence to Plead Guilty and for a Sentence of Death."

Both incompetent. Both insane.
