Excitador de Bin Laden convicted nos crimes de guerra experimentais
MSNBC | BASE NAVAL da BAÍA de GUANTANAMO, Cuba - um júri militar em quarta-feira encontrou um excitador anterior para culpado Laden do escaninho de Osama em algumas contagens mas cancelou-o de outro nos primeiros crimes de guerra de Guantanamo experimentais.
Um painel de seis oficiais militares americanos entregou a decisão no argumento de encontro a Salim Hamdan, um Yemeni.
O júri deliberou por aproximadamente oito horas sobre três dias antes de convicting Hamdan do terrorismo suportando. Era cancelou da carga do conspiracy.
Hamdan prendeu sua cabeça em suas mãos e wept na tabela da defesa depois que um capitão da marinha que presiding sobre o júri leu a sentença em um courtroom do hilltop nestes ESTADOS UNIDOS. Base da marinha.
Enfrenta agora até uma sentença da vida após a experimentação de 10 dias, que forneceu a primeira demonstração de um sistema especial do tribunal para terroristas alegados prosecuting.
As horas reconvened jury mais tarde para um hearing sentenciando. É unclear onde serviria a seu tempo.
Era tentativa de administração de Bush a terceira de tentar Hamdan, que ganhou uma vitória da corte suprema que se desfizesse da primeira versão do sistema de corte de Guantanamo. As cargas duas vezes foram deixadas cair e rearquivadas.
As cargas que era cancelaram em quarta-feira - dois de conspiring com al-Qaida atacar civis, destrua a propriedade, cometem o assassinato na violação das leis da guerra - eram as únicas cargas de encontro a ele na primeira tentativa do prosecution.
Convicted de cinco contagens de fornecer a sustentação material para o terrorismo, especificamente essa seus serviços pessoais a dirigir incluído al-Qaida e a agir como um bodyguard para um homem que soube para ser o líder de uma organização internacional do terrorista.
O formulário do verdict de 11 páginas era assim complicado que o juiz se chamou para uma pena amarela do highlighter e se marcou as parcelas que o presidente jury devia ler. Foram permitidos aos Jurors golpear alguma da língua nas cargas, assim que alguns específicos do verdict não estavam imediatamente desobstruídos.
As réguas enviesaram, a defesa discute
Os advogados de defesa tinham temido que um verdict culpado era inevitável.
As réguas do sistema do tribunal nos ESTADOS UNIDOS. A base da marinha pareceu projetada conseguir convicções, tenente da marinha. Comandante. Brian Mizer, advogado Pentagon-apontado de Salim Hamdan, dito antes do verdict.
“Eu não sei se o painel puder render a feira o que tem acontecido já,” repórteres ditos Mizer como o júri deliberou.
Hamdan’s attorneys said the judge allowed evidence that would not have been admitted by any civilian or military U.S. court, and that interrogations at the center of the government’s case were tainted by coercive tactics, including sleep deprivation and solitary confinement.
The tribunal system allows for an appeal before a federal judge, and Hamdan’s team is expected to go there next.
Appeal likely
Before the trial started, the team asked a federal judge to declare the process so legally flawed that it was unconstitutional. The judge, at a hearing in Washington, ruled to let the trial proceed, after which he would be open to reviewing whether it was proper.
The rules allow four levels of appeal, first to the Pentagon appointee overseeing the Guantanamo tribunals. She can overturn convictions and shorten the sentence but cannot add convictions or lengthen the sentence.
After that, Hamdan could appeal to a special military appeals court, then to the U.S. federal appeals court in Washington and finally to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Supporters of the tribunals said the Bush administration’s system provided extraordinary due process rights for defendants.
“This military judge is to be commended for providing a fair and internationally legally sufficient trial for the accused and the government — regardless of the ultimate verdict,” said Charles “Cully” Stimson, a former deputy assistant secretary of defense for detainee affairs.
Hamdan was captured at a roadblock in southern Afghanistan in November 2001 and taken to Guantanamo in May 2002.
The military accused him of transporting missiles for al-Qaida and helping bin Laden escape U.S. retribution following the Sept. 11 attacks by driving him around Afghanistan. Defense attorneys said he was merely a low-level bin Laden employee.
