Zacarias Moussaoui Convicted — Sentenced to Life

French citizen Zacarias Moussaoui, the only person convicted in U.S. courts in connection with the 9/11 attacks, is sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. A federal jury rejects the death penalty after emotional testimony from victims' families. Moussaoui, who pleaded guilty in 2005 to conspiring to kill Americans, claimed he was to have piloted a fifth plane into the White House, though prosecutors and the 9/11 Commission expressed doubt about this claim.
