Jury deliberates Moussaoui's fate over 9/11

Zacarias Moussaoui’s fate was tonight placed in the hands of a US jury that will decide whether he is to be executed over the deaths of September 11, 2001.

Jurors in Virginia have opened deliberations after final pleadings – from the prosecution to “put an end to his hatred and venom” by opting for execution - and from the defence to spare him the martyr’s death he seeks and send him to prison for life.
