Moussaoui to continue breathing
(AP) - A federal judge on Thursday barred the government from seeking the death penalty for terrorism accomplice suspect Zacarias Moussaoui, inflicting a major defeat on the government for refusing to let the defendant question three al-Qaida prisoners. U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema rejected a more severe option to dismiss all charges. The government had acknowledged dismissal would be appropriate, so there could be a quick appeal of her earlier ruling grantings Moussaoui access to the prisoners.
