Moussaoui jurors hear from families of 9/11 victims

The judge has urged prosecutors to show restraint, but it has proved difficult to blunt the emotional impact as families of 9/11 victims tell their tales to jurors in the US death-penalty trial of September 11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui.

The jury in Alexandria, Virginia, has heard painful testimony from more than 20 witnesses already, but that has done little to inoculate against the emotional impact of each story. Each witness has some cruel twist to tell on the familiar story of loss.
