Raed Hijazi's trial (conviction) in Jordan, according to what I have read, was recently overturned.The only info I can find is that he was sentenced to death in Jordan in February, 2002 (not 2000), and (on IslamOnLine), that his lawyer was appealing it in March 2002. I can't find any info on the conviction being overturned.
Do you have a link?
AMMAN, Jordan, Oct. 17, 2002 (UPI) -- A Jordanian civilian court has
overturned a State Security Court verdict that sentenced a man to death on charges of terrorism,
the second such reversal in less than a month, judicial sources said Thursday. The sources said the Court of Cassation, an appeals court, found the military tribunal's verdict lacked sufficient evidence to sentence to death
Raed Hijazi, a U.S. citizen of Jordanian origin. In its decision, the appeals court said the State Security Court failed to prove that Hijazi, who was a cab driver in Boston, had possessed or manufactured illegal explosives "for plans to carry out terrorist acts."
It also found no justification for convicting him of possessing automatic weapons without a license. But it supported the military court's decision to "drop charges of conspiring to carry out terrorist acts and belonging to an illegal organization, (al Qaida organization)."
(As far as I know, the man was then free, er, but not for long).
