Morroccan Who Abetts the Murder of Thousands Claims Trial Unfair

From Reuters' "9/11 hijacker friend seeks halt to sentence hearing"

Lawyers representing a Moroccan friend of the September 11 hijackers demanded on Friday the suspension of a hearing to decide his sentence for being an accessory to mass murder.

Mounir El Motassadeq, a member of a group of radical Arab students in Hamburg who organized the 2001 attacks in which nearly 3,000 people died, faces up to 15 years in prison.

...

Motassadeq, 32, who was in court on Friday, is one of only two people convicted of involvement in the September 11 attacks.

The other is Zacarias Moussaoui, a French citizen of Moroccan descent who was sentenced to life imprisonment by a U.S. court in May 2006.

Germany's top appeals court in Karlsruhe found Motassadeq guilty last November of abetting the murder of 246 passengers and crew who died on four planes that crashed on September 11.

So this guy has been convicted of abetting mass murder of Americans, and he "faces up to 15 years in prison"? God forbid. He should hang.
