Time: Moussaoui Federal Prosecutor Taking The Fall For Justice Dept.'s Mishandling Of Case...
Carla J. Martin has taken most of the flack this week for the potential collapse of the Justice Department's death penalty case against confessed Sept. 11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui. It is after all Martin, a former flight attendant turned government aviation lawyer, who stands accused of improperly coaching witnesses scheduled to testify in Moussaoui's sentencing trial, e-mailing trial transcripts and offering advice on how to testify.
But for all the trouble Martin allegedly caused federal prosecutors -- who have told the court they were unaware of her actions and will try next week to get Judge Leonie Brinkema to reverse her decision barring the seven witnesses' testimony -- critics claim Martin is only one symptom of much deeper problems in the way the Justice Department has handled the high-profile terror case.
