In the first trial by a U.S. military commission in more than 60 years, a jury of six officers on Wednesday reached a split verdict of guilty and acquittal in the case of Salim Ahmed Hamdan, according to news accounts from Guantanamo Bay. The case is almost certainly going to be appealed, first through a military review system then through civilian courts, perhaps ultimately to the Supreme Court.
.......
The New York Times reported Wednesday morning that “the commission acquitted Mr. Hamdan of a conspiracy charge, arguably the more serious of two charges he faced, but convicted him of a separate charge of providing material support for terrorism.” The Times said sentencing would be decided at a separate proceeding beginning later in the day Wednesday. The maximum sentence is life, which Hamdan would serve at a facility on the U.S. Navy base at Guantanamo.
