在戰爭犯罪判罪的本・拉登司機試驗
MSNBC | 關塔那摩海灣海軍基地，古巴-在星期三一軍事陪審員發現了一個前司機為本・拉登有罪在有些計數，但清除了他其他在第一關塔那摩戰爭犯罪試驗。
六位美國軍方官員組在論點提供了決定反對Salim Hamdan，也門。
陪審員研討了大約八個小時三天在判罪Hamdan之前支持的恐怖主義。 他被清除了陰謀指控。
在主持陪審員的海軍隊長在這美國之後，在小山頂法庭讀了句子Hamdan在他的手拿著他的頭并且啜泣在防禦桌。 海軍基地。
他現在勇敢地面對終身監禁在10天的試驗以後，為檢控的涉嫌的恐怖分子提供一個特別法庭系統第一次示範。
以後陪審團再聚會的小時為一個聽取判決。 它是不明的他會服務他的時間的地方。
它是布什政府的第三嘗試嘗試Hamdan，贏取一次最高法院勝利廢棄關塔那摩法律系統的第一個版本。 指控兩次被放棄了并且被重歸檔了。

被歪曲的規則，防禦爭論
辯護律師恐懼一個有罪定案是不可避免的。
法庭系統的規則在美國。 海軍基地看上去設計達到信念，海軍Lt。 司令。 布賴恩Mizer， Salim Hamdan的五角大樓任命的律師，在定案之前說。
「我不知道盤區是否可能回報市場什麼已經發生了」， Mizer告訴了記者，陪審員研討了。
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.
