US had no evidence linking shoe bomber to Moussaoui
The defence introduced a statement, agreed to by the government, that was presented to the jury considering whether Moussaoui should be executed or imprisoned for life.
Moussaoui had stunned his trial on March 27 by claiming for the first time that he had intended to participate in the 2001 terror attacks on New York’s World Trade Center before his arrest a month earlier, and that Reid was to have been one of his accomplices.
