Saying "I told you so" is never pretty, but here goes: I called the Moussaoui thing right. Instead of throwing out the death penalty charge and facing a show-down with the Fourth Circuit, the judge just threw out the witnesses.
Now the prosecution says that there's no point to going forward with the trial. Maybe that's true. But, in light of the Court's strict order on witness coaching -- and the fact that witness tampering is a crime -- perhaps they should have paid a little more attention to the e-mails that Transportation Security Administration lawyer Carla J. Martin was sending to the witnesses.

What State Bar Association is Carla J. Martin a member of? Time to start the complaints rolling in to initiate an investigation by her Bar of professional misconduct and/or imcompetence. If the investigation reveals that is so she would be disciplined up to and including disbarment.
When the DOJ refers to the conduct as "apparently criminal", it is time to act. Email me back if you can find this out and we can blog this all over.
