I'm very surprised that he was not sentenced to death.
Allah akbar!!!

I think he was spared because it was shown that he didn't have much to do with 9/11 at all.
The very fact that they held a deliberation on whether to administer capital punishment indicates that he was already found beyond any reasonable doubt to be responsible for a capital crime.

Originally posted by DoctorScribblesI think they did not want to give him the death penalty because they did not want him becoming a martyr. Looking back you can see how effective this tactic was getting rid of all us crazy Christians. 🙄

Originally posted by whodeyI believe that would violate the jury's duty. I don't think their instructions permit them to establish their own criteria - such as avoiding martyrdom - for giving or witholding a death sentence.

I wasn't at either of the proceedings, I'm just referring to a journalist who was present who said "There didn't seem to be any evidence that he had much involvement in 9/11 at all"

I think there are two reasons he did not get the death penalty. He wanted it. Secondly, I think the jury was sending a message to the prosecution for their behaviors that the judge railed against.
He will have 23 hours a day in solitary confinement. It may be so solitary he will not even know what direction in which to pray.
