Texas gets a lot of these trials. I was at a legal translation conference last year in Houston and saw the conclusion of a Federal level trial of a Pakistani accused of and admitting to money laundering for various terrorist organizations. He was a convenience store owner and obviously had been forced into this very complicated plot (although he clearly knew what he was doing). He was the first person I have ever seen who was happy to be sentenced to 10 years in Federal prison.

Better in jail than out where the jihadis could get him. More and more of these trials, btw, seem not to be jury trials, perhaps because it is getting increasingly difficult to find juries. The judges who conduct these trials are very brave - and, I hope, well guarded.

The jails are chock-full of moose-slimes. They’ll have no problem getting to him in jail. (good riddance, I say.)
