From CNN:

Moussaoui jury reaches verdict

The jury in the Zacarias Moussaoui case has reached a verdict on the question of whether the al Qaeda operative should be eligible for the death penalty, court officials said Monday.

The jurors, who had been deliberating since late Wednesday, made the announcement shortly before 3 p.m.

The decision is to be announced by 4 p.m.

The nine men and three women reached their verdict on the fourth day of deliberations.

The panel is deciding only whether Moussaoui is eligible for the death penalty.

To find that he is, the jury must unanimously agree that prosecutors proved Moussaoui intentionally lied to federal agents who interrogated him in August 2001, that he lied with lethal intent, and that his lies directly resulted in at least one death in the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

…

Three of the charges Moussaoui pleaded guilty to exposed him to the death penalty — the conspiracies to commit acts of terrorism transcending national boundaries, to destroy aircraft, and to use weapons of mass destruction.

In its first note to the court, the jury asked U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema to define what was meant by "weapons of mass destruction."

For purposes of this case, WMD means "using airplanes as missiles or bombs," the judge said.

If determining the government has met its burden of proof, the 12-person jury must be unanimous.

To proceed to the next phase of the trial, when the jury would decide whether to actually impose the death penalty after hearing more testimony and evidence, the jury must answer "yes" to all questions underneath any one of the death-eligible counts on a verdict form.

I don’t have much to add.  I am not a big "kill em all and let Allah sort them out" kind of person, nor am I a huge supporter of the death penalty, but I also believe in letting justice prevail. 

In this case, it has moved one step closer.
