FFs release him immediately ..that explains it all .......

Re: Moussaoui came from a broken home
 

Poor thing. Release him? Surely he should be given a few million and a relocation package to help the wee lad as well? Infact, I would be willing to help him "Relocate". Permanently.

My heart bleeds. :mad:

I think if he was to be taken on an outward bound adventure holiday that he would see the error of his ways

"At the start of her testimony, Ms Vogelsang said that she was not trying to excuse Moussaoui's actions, but rather to help explain why he did what he did."

Re: Moussaoui came from a broken home
 

Release him? He's already been convicted, this part is just to decide if he gets life or death.

Their argument on the matyrdom factor was much better.

Translated as:

"At the start of her testimony, Ms Vogelsang said that she was not trying to excuse Moussaoui's actions, but rather to get a sympathy vote from the jury in order to sway them away from the death penalty."

Do you not believe he should have a defence?

Re: Moussaoui came from a broken home
 

So she seems to be doing her job. DO you have any problem with that?

Re: Moussaoui came from a broken home
 

Defence against what? He did it thats been decided. Now it's all about mind games with the jury

Re: Moussaoui came from a broken home
 

No. Just putting it into context. No need to shout.

Re: Moussaoui came from a broken home
 

Just the defense doing its job.

I too came from a broken home but I never even spanked my kids, let alone participated in the deaths of thousands.......

Fry the bastard or, better still, set fire to him and drop him off a tall building.

Re: Moussaoui came from a broken home
 

I'm sure that sharing death row with some of America's most accomplished killers/rapists will be a similarly enlightening experiance for him.

Re: Moussaoui came from a broken home
 

I'm sure he'd love to be executed; it's probably better to lock him up like a dog.
