A federal judge today delayed accused September 11th conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui's trial from January until June after he complained about the overwhelming quantity of materials he has to go through and the disruption of his trial preparation.
In the second time she has delayed the trial, US District Judge Ms Leonie Brinkema ruled "compelling reasons" justifying a postponement "outweigh the interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial."
Moussaoui, who is acting as his own lawyer, complained about the disruption of his preparation for trial when the US Marshals Service had to go into his jail cell to retrieve classified documents that the government turned over to him by mistake.
