Maybe we can get him to try on a pair of gloves found at the scene. Remember O.J.?
Seriously, was he mirandized? He's being tried in a civilian court as provided for in Article III of the Constitution. If he was not read his rights prior to any questioning as a suspect -- automatic mistrial. Our president is supposedly a constitutional expert, and his Attorney General certainly should be as well, so they must realize this.
It is either a fair trial, or it is a show trial. If it's a fair trial, there is a nonzero probability that he will get acquitted or get a mistrial. If it's a show trial, then the proponents of doing this are trampling on the Constitution, and the very world opinion they are trying to court will turn against them.
And this man was pleading guilty and asking for the death penalty under the Uniform Code of Military Justice where the military tribunal would have rightfully handled the case. This is all for nothing. He is not a citizen and is not entitled to Constitutional rights.
