Long deliberation 'favours Moussaoui'

More than a week has passed since jurors in the Zacarias Moussaoui sentencing trial began deliberating, and as time passes, the odds increase that the jury will refuse to order his execution, according to experts.

The jury ended a fifth day of deliberations in Alexandria, Virginia, yesterday, with no decision on whether to execute Moussaoui, the only person charged in connection with the September 11, 2001, attacks, or sentence him to life in prison.
