MOUSSAOUI VERDICT

By Michelle Malkin  •  April 3, 2006 04:06 PM

Coming in:

“The jury has found that death is a possible sentence in this case.”

This is the first of two phases. Having determined that Zacarias Moussaoui lied about the 9/11 terrorist plot and caused the death of at least one person on September 11, and that he is thus eligible for the death penalty, the jury will now decide whether to mete it out.

Fox News producer Mike Levine was in the courtroom and reports that Moussaoui had another Islamo-hissy fit, screaming, “God curse you all! You will never get my blood” and “Allah Akbar!”

Andy McCarthy looks ahead to phase two:

Now it is on to the strongest evidence — testimony from victims and, no doubt, New York and Pentagon officials, regarding the utter devastation of that day. Against that, Moussaoui will pit whatever mitigating factors he can muster (probably psychological testimony, and pleas from family members that he not be executed). It is not exactly going out on a limb to predict that Moussaoui is in big trouble in that balancing of equities.
