[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] [URL=http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Zacarias_Moussaoui_to_serve_life_in_prison]Moussaoui gets life instead of death[/URL] Personally, I think this was the better choice, but not for the reasons that were cited by the various jurors in the linked article. No, it's obvious that as time went on, Moussaoui realized he wasn't going to be acquitted, so he instead tried to charge head-on and make himself to seem like a big, bad villain, to try to earn the death penalty and make himself a martyr. So, we rob him of his glory and let him rot for the rest of his life in a maximum-security cell. I think it's a much harsher punishment than death, myself. Naturally, this doesn't resolve anything in the grand scheme of things, but since we'd caught him, it's worth a small moral victory to say we've convicted and will punish him in the way he'd least wanted � by denying him martyrdom.
