Witness coaching puts Moussaoui sentencing in doubt
Judge Brinkema said in all her years on the bench she had "never seen a more egregious violation of the rule about witnesses".
A government lawyer emailed the prosecution's opening statement, and a commentary on an FBI government witness, to officials scheduled to appear.
Judge Brinkema said the rule against witnesses hearing testimony in advance is "a very important protection of the truth-seeking process".
[FLASHBACK: May 13, 2004: Beheaded American had links to Moussaoui
When Nicholas Berg took an Oklahoma bus to a remote college campus a few years ago, the American recently beheaded by terrorists allowed a man with terrorist connections to use his laptop computer, according to his father.
Michael Berg said the FBI investigated the matter more than a year ago. He stressed that his son was in no way connected to the terrorists who captured and killed him.
Government sources told CNN that the encounter involved an acquaintance of Zacarias Moussaoui -- the only person publicly charged in the United States in connection with the September 11, 2001, terror attacks.]
