Suicide by Execution Post Script

On May 3rd 2006, the jury of nine men and three women was unable to unanimously impose the death penalty on Zacarias Moussaoui, therefore the only man brought to trial involving the terrorist attacks on the United States will spend the rest of his life in jail – without the possibility of parole.

After seven days of deliberations, three jurors believed Zacarias Moussaoui had limited knowledge of the plot to crash four airplanes into landmarks located in the United States. In addition, three jurors believed Zacarias Moussaoui’s involvement in the plot was minor.

Zacarias Moussaoui refused to stand and sat slouched in his chair as the verdict was announced in the courtroom. However, Moussaoui shouted, “America, you lost… I won,” as he was escorted from the courtroom.
