The jury convicted him to life in prison where he will spend the rest of his life. In so doing, they spared his life, which is something that he evidently wasn''t willing to do for innocent American citizens.\"\u003cbr/\u003eAlexandria, Virginia - 3 May 2006\u003cbr/\u003e20. Car carrying Moussaoui leaves courthouse\u003cbr/\u003eAl-Qaida conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui escaped the death penalty on Wednesday as a jury in Alexandria, Virginia, decided he deserved life in prison instead for his role in September 11, the bloodiest terrorist attack in US history. \u003cbr/\u003eAfter seven days of deliberation, the nine men and three women rebuffed the government''s appeal for death for the only person charged in this country in the four suicide jetliner hijackings that killed nearly 3,000 people on September 11, 2001.\u003cbr/\u003eThree jurors said Moussaoui had only limited knowledge of the September 11 plot, and three described his role in the attacks as minor, if he had any role at all.\u003cbr/\u003eMoussaoui, as he was led from the courtroom after the 15-minute hearing, said: \"America, you lost. ... I won\" and he clapped his hands as he was escorted away.\u003cbr/\u003eVictims'' families expressed mixed emotions. Some said they felt justice had been done.\u003cbr/\u003eCarrie Lemack, whose mother, Judy Larocque, died on hijacked American Airlines Flight 11, which crashed into the World Trade Centre, said her mum didn''t believe in the death penalty and would have been glad Moussaoui was sentenced to life. \u003cbr/\u003eBut Patricia Reilly, who lost her sister Lorraine Lee in the New York attacks, was deflated. \u003cbr/\u003eFrom the White House, President George W Bush said the verdict represented \"the end of this case but not an end to the fight against terror.\" \u003cbr/\u003eSpeaking at a short press meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Bush said Moussaoui got a fair trial and the jury spared his life, \"which is something that he evidently wasn''t willing to do for innocent American citizens.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe verdict came after four years of legal manoeuvring and a six-week trial that put jurors on an emotional roller coaster and gave the 37-year-old Frenchman of Moroccan descent a platform to needle Americans and mock the pain of the victims'' families.\u003cbr/\u003eJudge Leonie Brinkema was to hand down the life sentence Thursday morning, bound by the jury''s verdict. \u003cbr/\u003eOffering assurance to the losing side, she told prosecutors: \"The government always wins when justice is done.\" \u003cbr/\u003eMoussaoui smiled at that.\u003cbr/\u003eIt was a stinging defeat for the Justice Department and Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty, a former federal prosecutor in Alexandria who was overseeing the case.\u003cbr/\u003eJonathan Turley, a law professor at George Washington University, said the jury delivered the \"correct\" verdict. \u003cbr/\u003e\"His (Moussaoui''s) conduct simply did not warrant the death penalty,\" said Turley. \"What the government was arguing was that you could be put to death for an act of omission, simply failing to say what you knew about a possible crime.\"\u003cbr/\u003eMoussaoui is expected to spend the rest of his life at the federal maximum-security prison in Florence, Colorado.\u003cbr/\u003eThe jury did not reach the unanimity required for a death sentence against the man who claimed a direct role in the September 11 attacks even though he was in jail at the time on immigration charges.\u003cbr/\u003eDuring the trial, no one contested the contention that Moussaoui came to the United States intending to do harm and that he received flight training toward that goal. \u003cbr/\u003eBut his lawyers contended he was an al-Qaida outcast who was not trusted with the knowledge of the September 11 plot.\u003cbr/\u003eThe jurors agreed unanimously Moussaoui \"knowingly created a grave risk of death\" for more than the intended victims of September 11 and committed his acts with \"substantial planning\" - accepting two of the aggravating factors necessary for a death sentence.\u003cbr/\u003eThe verdict was received with silence in the packed courtroom, where one row was lined with victims'' families.\u003cbr/\u003eThe jurors were divided on the 23 mitigating factors in the case: None was moved by the fact that top al-Qaida operatives in U.S. custody are not facing death penalty prosecutions, but three cited racism that Moussaoui faced as a child of Moroccan descent.\u003cbr/\u003eThe closest the jurors came to unanimity in finding mitigating factors was on two questions involving his troubled childhood. \u003cbr/\u003eOn the first count of conspiracy to commit international terrorism, nine cited his unstable early childhood including stays in orphanages and a lack of emotional and financial support, and nine also cited physical and emotional abuse by his father.\u003cbr/\u003eBut on the two other counts - plotting to destroy aircraft and to use weapons of mass destruction - those two family factors received less support: eight and seven and seven and six, respectively. \u003cbr/\u003eThose were the only differences in the verdicts on the three counts.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton
