Bin Laden Driver Seeks Leniency From Gitmo Jury
|
PlusThe Associated PressOsama bin Laden's former driver is expected to ask the Pentagon jury that convicted him of a war crime to spare him from life in prison on Thursday, his defense lawyers said. (August 6)[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE] [Notes:VO--GUANTANAMO BAY/COURTROOM SKETCHES]AT THE FIRST U.S. WAR CRIMES TRIAL SINCE WORLD WAR II -- A PANEL OF SIX OFFICERS DELIVERED A SPLIT VERDICT IN THE TRIAL OF OSAMA BIN LADEN'S DRIVER -- SALIM HAMDAN (sah-LEEM' hahm-DAHN') -- FINDING HIM GUILTY OF AIDING TERRORISM -- BUT AQUITTING HIM OF TWO MORE SERIOUS CHARGES OF CONSPIRING TO ATTACK THE U.S.DEFENSE ATTORNEYS HAVE LONG ARGUED THE TRIALS ARE UNFAIR AND VIOLATE THE U.S. CONSITITUTION - BUT WEDNESDAY -- HIS DEFENSE TEAM APPLAUDED THE JURY'S DECISION ON THE CONSPIRACY CHARGES. [Notes:SOT --HARRY SCHNEIDER/DEFENSE ATTORNEY] I would have to think that given the case that was put on...it had to be an unwelcome development for the prosecution. [Notes:VO--COURT SKETCHES/HAMDAN]HAMDAN'S ATTORNEYS SAY BEFORE THE U.S. SUPREME COURT RULED THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION'S FIRST ATTEMPT AT THE MILITARY TRIBUNAL SYSTEM WAS UNCONSTITUTIONAL -- HAMDAN FACED CONSPIRACY CHARGES ALONE.BUT THEY SAY PROSECUTORS TACKED ON THE AIDING TERRORISM CHARGES IN THE MONTHS AFTER THE SUPREME COURT'S DECISION -- WHEN THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION RE-WROTE THE RULES. [Notes:SOT --CHARLES SWIFT/DEFENSE ATTORNEY] The problem is that the law was specifically written after the fact to target mr. Hamdan...and that's where you lose justice...if there was justice..mr.hamdan would have been completely aquitted. [Notes:VO -- HAMDAN/GUANTANAMO BAY]DEFENSE ATTORNEYS SAY NOW THAT HE'S BEEN CONVICTED -- HE'LL WILL ASK FOR LENIENCY AT HIS SENTENCING HEARING -- SET FOR THURSDAY. A SPOKESMAN AT THE WHITE HOUSE IS APPLAUDING WHAT HE CALLED "A FAIR TRIAL" -- AND SAYS PROSECUTORS WILL NOW PROCEED WITH OTHER WAR CRIMES TRIALS AT GUANTANAMO BAY. ___ ___, The Associated Press. |
