Another Terrorism Suspect Goes Pro Se
Sami Al-Arian, the Tampa professor charged with terrorism crimes, is going the route of Zacarias Moussaoui and demanding to proceed pro se--i.e., acting as his own counsel. He has fired his court appointed attorney.
The Judge urged him to reconsider. We would too. Al-Arian is trying to get the money together to hire Washington, D.C. defense lawyer (and former NACDL President Bill Moffitt. Moffitt is partners with Hank Asbill, and both are terrific lawyers. We hope Al-Arian can raise the money for them. The alternative, self-representation, is not very promising.
