Are there FReepers who are also lawyers, and who might be able to shed some light on the legal ramifications of this mess?

He should have been tried by a military tribunal.

"An attorney for the TSA ... egregiously breached that order," she told jurors before excusing them until Wednesday.

Paging Sec. Norm Mineta....

absolutely right, this case never should have been in civilian court. he's not some perp who just robbed a 7-11, he's an enemy combatant.

I'm not a lawyer and I don't know anything about legal ramifications, but I am an adult. And part of being an adult is to fulfill your obligations and act truthfully. A lawyer in this case broke the rules - rules that were known and understood before the violation occured. That lawyer acted irresponsibly and deceitfully and deserves our scorn. Yet most people will dismiss that lawyer's flagrant transgression and say that the legal system is broken because a murderer may get life instead of death because of a "technicality". In reality, the legal system is not the culprit - a dishonest lawyer is.

U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema

Appointed by Bill Clinton in 1993, when he had a Dem congress and would have pushed his most liberal appointees.

The Judge will NOT dismiss the case, this is the penalty phase.

The worst thing that will happen is he will be the "bride" of a fellow prisoner until he is 72 rather than receiving 72 virgins for being killed be the infidel.

Who is this boneheaded attorney? It would seem to me that witness coaching would be the first thing they teach you NOT to do in law school.

Who cares? This judge could've been appointed by Ming the Merciless, and if this story is true it wouldn't matter one bit.

You would think the Justice Department would assign this case to a competent attorney.

Woops. Now that's what I call being part of the problem, and not the solution.

"Who cares? This judge could've been appointed by Ming the Merciless, and if this story is true it wouldn't matter one bit."

Agreed. Before anyone starts blaming the judge, they should take a look at the attorney's actions.
