Moussaoui Prosecutors: Oops!
The AP reports:
Prosecutors are struggling to save their bid to execute al-Qaida conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui after the judge said a government lawyer's misconduct makes it very difficult for the case to go forward.
Visibly angry, U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema summoned the offending lawyer, Carla J. Martin of the Transportation Security Administration, to a hearing Tuesday to assess what damage she may have done by coaching seven witnesses.
The seven present or former federal aviation officials — three prosecution and four defense witnesses — also were to be questioned. Brinkema said she wanted to "find out if I can satisfy myself that their testimony is not going to be slanted or otherwise inaccurate" as a result of Martin's coaching.
