Justice - American Stylee

The undernoted story is from the Telegraph in relation to the trial of the only alleged September 11 bomber to be brought to trial in the USA -if it wasn't so obviously and horribly true, you would think it was patently made up. Sept 11 trial halted over government conduct The trial of one of the September 11 conspirators has been suspended while the judge decides whether to rule out the death penalty, after it was revealed that the American government had been coaching witnesses. On calling recess in the trial of Zacarias Moussaoui, a confessed al-Qa'eda member, District Court Judge Leonie said: "In all the years I have been on the bench I have never seen such an egregious violation of the court's rules on coaching witnesses." The break came at the start of the trial's fifth day, after the US government announced that a lawyer for the Federal Aviation Administration had coached four witnesses. Judge Brinkema had previously ruled that no witnesses should hear trial testimony in advance. But it has been reported that a Federal Aviation Administration lawyer who was present at closed hearings in the case had briefed four upcoming witnesses on the opening statements at the trial, the government's strategy and even the transcript of an earlier questioning of an FBI agent. NOTE BY ME- apparently this trial is for the purpose only of determining whether the accused is to be executed or is to be imprisoned for life, he having previously been convicted as being one of the 9/11 conspirators. Apparently the judge is considering whether to rule out the death penalty as a chastisement for the prosecution behaving in this egregious way. I don't know what it is, but it ain't justice. Would you let these people electrocute a piece of bread?
