Lawyer seeks Moussaoui plea change
| Ohfergawdsake! Just shoot him and get it over with! It's been three years! |
 A French lawyer advising the family of Zacarias Moussaoui, the only person charged in the United States over the September 11 attacks, says they hope to persuade him to retract his guilty plea. Moussaoui pleaded guilty to six counts charging him with conspiracy to commit acts of terrorism, commit aircraft piracy, destroy aircraft, use weapons of mass destruction, murder U.S. employees and destroy property. Four charges carry the death penalty. "We do not support Zacarias Moussaoui's decision to plead guilty, as he did in the United States last week in the first phase of his trial," French lawyer Francois Roux told Reuters. Roux is recognized by U.S. authorities as a representative of Moussaoui's mother, and helped her negotiate regular contact with her son during his imprisonment. He went to the United States to advise Moussaoui at the start of the affair, but is unable to act as a lawyer there.
