Moussaoui Gets Life for 9/11 Role

Posted on May. 3, 2006



The so-called 12th hijacker escaped the death penalty and was sentenced to 
life without the possibility of parole.

Washington Post:

A federal jury decided today to spare the life of Zacarias Moussaoui, 
finding that the avowed al-Qaeda conspirator should be sentenced to life in 
prison for his role in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist plot.
Announcing the verdict outside U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Edward 
Adams, a court spokesman, said the 12 jurors "were not unanimous" in favor 
of a death sentence for Moussaoui, meaning that he automatically gets a life 
sentence without possibility of parole. He said the verdict does not 
indicate how many jurors voted for a death sentence and how many opted to 
keep the defendant in prison.
