Moussaoui Death Penalty Case May Be Tossed
2006-03-14
A short article was posted yesterday; this is from the Guardian/AP and has all the details for those who want them. Take your blood pressure meds first. Bottom lawyer: the lawyer responsible needs to be disbarred.

#13  Ice, Your right, I'm trying to forget that we can not get this guy convicted of terrorist actions, even though he openly admitted to it!!! It's no wonder DOD won't let anyone into GITMO, They're afraid DOL will call them hero's and our courts will give them monitary rewards!!!

#12  This is the same idiot judge that refused Moussaoui's guilty plea. It appears that everyone has forgotten that.

#11  The death penalty trial is back on. Another Clinton appointee grandstanding.

Martin briefly appeared in court as the hearing began, but was told to return with her lawyer.
Yee-haw!

Sic 'er, Judge Brinkema!

Sanctions, disbarment, jail for contempt - go for it all.

#9  Matt, according to this story she was the liason between FAA and TSA (I think.) So DOJ is probably running the main prosecution. She is not described in a very flattering manner in the article.

#8  The question this raises in my mind is what an FAA/TSA lawyer is doing anywhere near the death penalty phase of a major prosecution. The DOJ has lawyers who do this kind of thing for a living and do it damned well.

#7  another lawyer acting as self-appointed policymaker (policy-usurper) of the Jamie Gorelick variety.

More likely an affirmative action attorney to smart by half.

#5  Using google *spit* arguments "Carla Martin" and TSA or FAA seems to indicate she's a lawyer with the Dept of Transportation - perhaps recently moved into TSA. Apparently another lawyer acting as self-appointed policymaker (policy-usurper) of the Jamie Gorelick variety.

#4  Carla Martin needs to be disbarred for life (hat tip Frank G), and then jailed hard time for the maximum term possible. How anyone could have defied a judge's direct orders alongside of such dubious conduct as coaching witnesses, especially in such a critical case, demonstrates nothing short of criminality.

#3  Just have the fed's report the day, time, and location of M-man's release. Let the public render justice if the system is too full of itself.

Another justification for Gitmo during time of war. Should have gone for little Johnny Taliban's neck too. Just too much concern for the worst of the world.

#2  This has got to be a Clinton appointee.

#1  So - is this deliberate sabotage by a death penalty opposing lackey? (My first thought.) Or just an unbelievable lapse in judgement?
