What was the 'purpose' of yousef asking for a mistrial the day AFTER FL800 blew up? Was there someone on that flight that was able to testify against yousef?
If an airplane blew up in a similar manner to the Bojinka plot whle Yousef was in prison, he couldn't be invovled. Right? Sadaam and TWA Flight 800
Yousef showed up in court with his standby counsel and asked Judge Duffy for a mistrial, citing the “unfortunate confluence of circumstances” in the downing of the jetliner and its similarity to the Bojinka charges. Judge Duffy, a tough Irishman, was in no mood to do Yousef any favors. He polled the jury, first saying: “Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Last night near Moriches Inlet out in Long Island, an airplane blew up. TWA Flight 800. … All we know is that there was an explosion and the airplane went down. It’s a tragedy, there is no two ways about it, but that had nothing to do with this case.” Motion denied.
