Detroit terror convictions tossed after DOJ probe
District Judge Gerald Rosen granted prosecutors' request to throw out the 2003 convictions of three Moroccan men Abdel-Ilah Almardouti Karim Koubriti and Ahmed Hannan linked to a Detroit terrorism cell. The move follows a nine month DOJ inquiry into prosecutorial conduct and withholding evidence led by Assistant U S Attorney Richard Convertino amid claims of misstatements by witnesses. The ruling underscores judiciary independence amid post 9 11 anti terror prosecutions.
