False."DETROIT, June 3 — Two Arab immigrants were convicted in federal court here today in a terrorist plot against American airports, military bases and landmarks like Disneyland." http://www.nytimes.com/2003/06/04/national/04DETR.html "Indicted in federal court, three trials of the Liberty City Seven defendants took place. One defendant was acquitted in the first trial, but the jury deadlocked on the other six defendants and a mistrial occurred." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_City_Seven See page 175: https://books.google.com/books?id=-3CuViIjqj8C&pg=PA175&lpg=PA175&dq=has+a+terrorist+defendant+in+the+united+states+ever+been+acquitted&source=bl&ots=Z2vHQyHX-d&sig=QuQn-N3zyRaSYgCRSSoGU0S694M&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjmh-aIgbzJAhVC_R4KHb5-CKwQ6AEITjAJ#v=onepage&q=has%20a%20terrorist%20defendant%20in%20the%20united%20states%20ever%20been%20acquitted&f=false "In a sharp rebuke, a federal judge today acquitted seven members of a Lenawee County militia group of plotting to overthrow the U.S. government with weapons of mass destruction." http://archive.freep.com/article/20120327/NEWS06/120327048/Judge-dismisses-critical-charges-in-Hutaree-case I could post more but you get the point. Yes, defendants in a civil trial for terrorism do get acquitted. |
