Sometimes One Vote Counts


It seems that one juror in the Zacarias Moussaoui trial prevented the state's killing him. Thank God someone in the jury room had common sense.
Only one juror stood between the death penalty and Zacarias Moussaoui and that juror frustrated his colleagues because he never explained his vote, according to the foreman of the jury that sentenced the al-Qaeda operative to life in prison last week.

The foreman, a Northern Virginia math teacher, said in an interview that the panel voted 11 to 1, 10 to 2 and 10 to 2 in favor of the death penalty on three terrorism charges for which Moussaoui was eligible for execution. A unanimous vote on any one of them would have resulted in a death sentence.

I agree Moussaoui belongs behind bars. He's a terrorist wanna-be and probably is a dangerous person. Was he involved in 9/11? Certainly not directly because he was in jail. The various accounts of the trial I read from MSM and bloggers seemed unanimous in painting the guy as too loony for even al-Qaida to embrace him. He wasn't affective in plotting and wasn't reliable enough to actually take part in any attack. Sometimes the US justice system works.
