Sensible Jurors 11 Idiots 1
Turns out that Moussaoui missed out on the Death Penalty by one vote. I pretty much agree with Ace's explicative.

WAPO : Only one juror stood between the death penalty and Zacarias Moussaoui and that juror frustrated his colleagues because he never explained his vote, according to the foreman of the jury that sentenced the al-Qaeda operative to life in prison last week.Also see Allahpundit at Hot Air.The foreman, a Northern Virginia math teacher, said in an interview that the panel voted 11 to 1, 10 to 2 and 10 to 2 in favor of the death penalty on three terrorism charges for which Moussaoui was eligible for execution. A unanimous vote on any one of them would have resulted in a death sentence.

I think there was an anti-death penalty activist on that jury.

I stand by my prediction on the life sentence post. The one holdout suffers from BDS.
With this revelation, now I am certain. Forget the idea that the person was anti death penalty. There was a moonbat on the jury.

What was the jurors name? I'll bet it was Muhammed or something like that. Figures. How did that jerk get seated on the jury anyway? Shame on the prosecution.

Which is another reason why it's idiotic to try terror cases in civilian courts. A military tribunal would have already has his ass fitted for a pine box lined with pigskin.

You are required during voir dire (jury selection questioning) to disclose if you have any moral objection to imposing the death sentences. Those that do are automatically rejected. However, some people who do will simply lie so that they can throw a "wrench" in the system and impose their minority view on the others. I don't think their should be a required unanimity for death sentences for this very reason -- it's too easy for a liar to overturn a just sentence. A 9-3 vote should be adequate. I'd even go for a 10-2. But unanimous 12 is just asking for "conscientous" objectors to rig the system.
