Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab Attends Court, Not Guilty Plea Entered
Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab appeared in federal court in Detroit today. A guilty plea was entered on his behalf.
His head was shaved, which according to observers, made him look even younger than his 23 years.
He is represented by the Federal Defender's office. His parents have hired U.S. lawyers from Nigeria to observe the proceedings and keep them informed, but Federal Defender Miriam Siefer (an excellent attorney) told the court their office expects to continue to represent Umar.
Umar faces a possible life sentence on the first count in the Indictment, attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction.
