The Trial of Zacarias Moussaoui (2006)

"He killed the 9/11 victims as surely as if he had been at the controls of one of those airplanes."
--U. S. Attorney Robert Spencer, in his opening statement in the trial of Zacarias Moussaoui

"You can't judge him to get revenge for 9/11. You can't make him some substitute for Osama bin Laden. And you can't make him a scapegoat for what government officials did not do."
--Edward MacMahon, court-appointed lawyer for Zacarias Moussaoui, in his opening statement.
