He goes free.
With all the lefties in the jury pool in NYC, anything is possible.
Oh, and by the way, if it wasn’t already frighteningly obvious, you can officially call the end to the War on Terror. Obama has pulled the plug on it; back to the fantastic “law enforcement” angle that proved SO SUCCESSFUL in NYC from 1993-2001.
He gets put up in a penthouse in Chicago - easy access to his comrades in arms.
Hollywood and the liberal elites will be naming their babies after the guy so expect a lot of Khalid Sheikhs coming out after the trial.
Mayor Rudy used this term with Mark Davis Friday, I believe. (I think Mark was subbing for Newt Hannity).
Thanks again Barry (aka the man-child president)
0bama then goes on to blame the Bush administration for using college fraternity hazing tactics that were "clearly unconstitutional." "Had Bush 'stuck to the Constitution, these terrorists would have gotten the death penalty they richly deserve." Bank on it.
I'm convinced that 0bama cares nothing about the people of New York who will be adversely impacted by this trial and eventual acquittal.
I have a few questions also.
Being a federal trial, does the jury have to be unanimous?
A couple “moderate muslims” on the jury may be all they need.
Or, will they go fo a non-jury trial?
What are the charges?
What a bout a speedy trial, Miranda warning, etc?
Once on American soil they are given the full protection and rights of an American citizen. Therefore, if they are indeed found not guilty they are free to walk any street that interests them. Perhaps they will start a bomb making business in Chicago with Billy Ayers.
A hung Jury is more likely.
This is just one of the reasons this is a potentially devasting move for Obama.
Should KSM be acquitted there would be outrage not only in NYC, but throughout the country.
For this reason and several others, I maintain there is no upside for Obama.
HE will get a Barry Obama scholarship to attend the university of his choice, a new car, a new house, and a job with the government!
All I can think of is the O. J. farce.
And then there is the jury of his peers thing. Do we have to have a Muslim on the jury? All it takes is one person on the jury not to convict.
Also, under what Constitutional Authority does Nobama or the Justice Dept. claim to confer Rights upon any citizen of another country that they want?
What difference does it make? Under Obama-Pelosi, the misery of Americans will just continue to climb until the day arrives when we cheer a terrorist nuke taking out a city because it just removed a million welfare recipients from the planet. The new Axis of Evil (Obama/Pelosi/Allah) wants us to suffer and submit.
Oh, did I say “terrorist”? In the Obamanation, the only terrorists are white guys that shoot abortion docs and retirees that attend Tea Parties.
Obama has just declared “Mission Accomplished” in the WOT—unfortunately, he’s fighting for the other side.
Fox News Sunday, a rat Senator stated, with a sly smile, that “preventative detention” is available if KSM is found innocent.
Why have a trial?
What are the rules for Preventive Detention?
Why was Hansan not detained?
I heard somebody on Fox say he would immediately be arrested for another offense.
A “Not Guilty” verdict, or, worse, a dropping-of-charges, could very well bring down the whole Government... (Next to which, the fate of one terrorist is small potatoes...)
The national backlash against Liberals will be horrific - perhaps even bloody....
