Already sentenced to life in prison many, many times over, convicted 9/11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui has now asked to have his guilty plea withdrawn and to get a new trial. His reason? He didn't think he could get a fair trial beforehand, and now he knows he can, so he doesn't have to knowingly lie on the stand.WTF?
U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema, who presided over his case, told him during his first appearance in court in April of last year "You do not have a right to appeal your convictions, as was explained to you when you plead guilty. You waived that right."
So what's up? Is he gonna get a new trial? We doubt it. And we doubt that even if he does, it'll matter. In fact, if he's found guilty again, he'll probably get the death penalty. And we believe a stipulation is that the entire Congress of the USA should be allowed to pee on his corpse before burial. But you know, that most likely won't be allowed. Dang.
