Two Failed Terrorism Trials Raise Worry in Europe

#5  Let's not forget the German Hannibal Lecter who pulled down 8 years or so for his voracious act. Cannibals and Terrorists...simply misunderstood by the majority of reasoning society....someone has to defend them!

#4  This has nothing to do with the law. The law would have allowed convictions. It has to do with non jury trials by leftist/socialist judges who are sympathetic with or supportive of the end goals of the terrorists. These are the same retardants who hand down 7 year sentences for premeditated murder.

#3  ...in the absence of an actual attack, how close must a suspect be to detonating a bomb before prosecutors can demonstrate guilt?

Is there an RB legal beagle in the house? Isn't that why there are "conspiracy to commit crimes" laws on the book exactly for that reason?

#1  These trials worry me too, and not just in Europe. It seems that there's never "enough" evidence, or the "right kind" of evidence, or the trialee's "rights" are "violated" in some way.
