Moussaoui Asks to Withdraw Guilty Plea

8 minutes ago

Zacarias Moussaoui has said he lied on the stand about being involved in Sept. 11, and he has asked to withdraw his guilty plea.


The statement appears in a motion filed in federal court in Alexandria by his attorneys.


Moussaoui last week was sentenced to life in prison, after a jury rejected the government's appeal to sentence him to death.

Re: Moussaoui asks to withdrawal guilty plea

What is even scarier about this is that the politically correct group of people will support it. I have no idea if he is or isn't guilty, but a plea once given is final in my opinion. He knew what he was doing, and now, he is just trying to make a mockery of our legal system. Some YAHOO of a Federal Judge will probably give in and allow it.... I have seen the same tactic used in Massachusetts when the guilty party doesn't like the sentance...
 
Well it seems to me that while he is under appeal we would be better off to keep him out of the maximum security/solitary confinement prison. Afterall, he might not be guilty. Just put him in a regular federal prison during the appeal process, in with the 'general population' of other innocent victims of our unfair judicial system. He should be safe there while he appeals. :whistle:
 
The news story from the Associated Press/Yahoo! News has been updated. This is an interesting development. But, as Junkman wrote, some idiot judge will overturn something and this guy will make a mokery of the system. . . despite what is written below:



A federal court jury spared the 37-year-old Frenchman the death penalty last Wednesday. On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema gave him six life sentences, to run as two consecutive life terms, in the federal supermax prison at Florence, Colo.

At sentencing, she told Moussaoui: "You do not have a right to appeal your convictions, as was explained to you when you plead guilty" in April 2005. "You waived that right."

She said he could appeal his sentence but added, "I believe it would be an act of futility."

He's only trying this appeal tactic because what he really wanted was to get put to death, then he would be a martyr and (in his mind) he would go to heaven and get his virgins. I am sure the thought of rotting away in jail for the rest of his life is a lot less appealing than being killed and getting it all over with.

I guess those people who felt that the death penalty was letting him off too easy and he should rot in jail should feel vindicated now - Moussajerky has pretty much confirmed with his appeal that the death sentence would have been preferable to him, which means that should have been the last thing he got.

With two life sentences, that means that they will have to have him taxidermied and stood up in a corner..... :whistle:
