re: #201 lawhawk

It’s a solid case? I’m sure that the prosecutors who pushed the first Holy Land prosecution thought they had a solid case. That didn’t exactly work out as planned.

They did much better the second time around.

Once a case gets in the hands of a jury, all bets are off as to how they respond to the evidence proffered. That’s why 90% of cases settle before trial - all too many lawyers know the uncertainties of trial and instead seek the certainty of a plea deal (in criminal cases) or negotiated settlement (in civil cases).

And a death sentence isn’t a sure thing either. All it takes is one juror to dissent and KSM or his cohorts would get life in Supermax.

The Administration and the DOJ may think that they’ve got a slam dunk case, but if that’s the case, why not keep it in the tribunals, which they already believe are an appropriate venue for other detainees.

no liberal here will answer you, or me, or many others…they want to blab about Americas image and how we owe it to apologize to the world
