MSNBC | 关塔那摩海湾海军基地，古巴-在星期三一军事陪审员发现了一个前司机为本·拉登有罪在有些计数，但清除了他其他在第一关塔那摩战争犯罪试验。
六位美国军方官员组在论点提供了决定反对Salim Hamdan，也门。
陪审员研讨了大约八个小时三天在判罪Hamdan之前支持的恐怖主义。 他被清除了阴谋指控。
在主持陪审员的海军队长在这美国之后，在小山顶法庭读了句子Hamdan在他的手拿着他的头并且啜泣在防御桌。 海军基地。

被歪曲的规则，防御争论
辩护律师恐惧一个有罪定案是不可避免的。
法庭系统的规则在美国。 海军基地看上去设计达到信念，海军Lt。 司令。 布赖恩Mizer， Salim Hamdan的五角大楼任命的律师，在定案之前说。
“我不知道盘区是否可能回报市场什么已经发生了”， Mizer告诉了记者，陪审员研讨了。
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.
