"We Just Wanted To See If a Picture of His Face Was Really Under the Word 'Evil'."

No one knows exactly why (perhaps to confirm the spelling of one or more of the words in the phrase "consummate candidate for extermination"), but the jury deliberating the fate of Zacarious Moussaoui asked the judge for a dictionary today.  The judge said no, but did offer to help them with any specific definitions they may need.

The jury is in their second day of deliberation, following closing arguments that included a mild argument against dispatching Moussaoui to the hereafter.

Moussaoui's court-appointed defense lawyers, who have been at odds with their client for years, said a death sentence would be giving Moussaoui exactly what he wants an execution at the hands of his enemies and martyrdom.

Moussaoui has said at various times that he believes being executed by the Americans may grant him a path to paradise in the afterlife.

Great, then everybody's happy.  What's the hold up?  Chop, chop.  Hoka hey.
