And The Verdict Is...Life In Prison for Moussaoui

We'll have to wait just a bit before knowing whether the jury has decided that Moussaoui will receive the death penalty or life in prison.

The decision will be read at 4:30PM EDT.

UPDATE:
Moussaoui has pleaded guilty to six counts of conspiracy in the only case brought in the United States in connection with the deadly hijacked airliner attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people and caused billions of dollars in damage to the economy. This decision has been reached after nearly seven days of deliberations.

The jury ruled against the death penalty, meaning that Zacarias Moussaoui will spend the rest of his life in prison. I expect that he'll be sent to a SuperMax federal facility where he'll remain in solitary confinement for the remainder of his days.
