A federal judge indicated today that she might throw out the death penalty case against Sept. 11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui after prosecutors disclosed that a government attorney had violated the court's rules about discussing witness testimony.
U.S. District Judge Leonie M. Brinkema called it "the most egregious violation of the court's rules on witnesses'' she had seen "in all the years I've been on the bench.'' http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/03/13/AR2006031300506.html?nav=rss_email/components -- Jim Devine / "There can be no real individual freedom in the presence of economic insecurity." -- Chester Bowles
