I understand that there are many others with more direct links to 9/11 than this asshole, and they appear to be held overseas. Some speculate that the US Govt can't or won't bring them here for trial because they might've been tortured or some such shit, and evidentiary problems result.
And yes, I'm concerned about how the jury reaches its decision, too, but I couldn't distinguish one from the other in your post, so I asked.

I thought it was interesting that 3 of them wrote in that they didn't feel he was all that connected to the attacks. And, I think if somehow some of the guys who flew the planes had survived, and Moussaoui had been on trial at the same time as they were, they would have gotten the death penalty but Moussaoui would not have, because he doesn't seem to have been nearly as involved. I don't see why the result should be different just because the others weren't on trial.
