He now faces the death penalty according to Holder.
Thats not exactly what he stated. According to your highlighted section, he “fully expect(s) to direct prosecutors to seek the death penalty”

I fully expect him to also, but find it a tad troubling that he didn’t say
“I AM directing,,,”

Words mean things!

The decision was made. Holder made his statement. The trial will be held in a federal courtroom in the Southern District of New York.

We can look for all of the nuances in Holder’s statement but the fact remains that he will finally face a trial. It’s been almost 7 years and nothing has been done to date other than holding him at Gitmo.
