Professor Michael GreenbergerUSA Today, National Public Radio –Prosecutors asked a federal judge to reconsider a sweeping ruling that wiped out half of the government’s argument for executing convicted al-Qaeda conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui, after the judge said a government lawyer’s misconduct makes it very difficult for the case to go forward. "This was Prosecution 101," said Michael Greenberger, JD, professor at the School of Law and director of the Center for Health and Homeland Security. "That they’re letting this case slip away is mind-boggling."

Professor Michael GreenbergerInternational Herald Tribune (France), Shanghai Daily (China) – Refco Inc. held offshore accounts with as much as $525 million in fake bonds, indicating the futures broker’s troubles may be more extensive than previously reported, according to U.S. prosecutors investigating Refco’s collapse. "These unregulated entities are opaque to the U.S. government," said Michael Greenberger, JD, professor at the School of Law and former director of trading and markets at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. "Because there is no handle on them here or in any of the other major financial centers, it’s just that much easier to commit fraud."

Michael Greenberger, JD, professor at the School of Law and director of the Center for Health and Homeland Security, said that without the crucial evidence, it was unlikely, though not impossible, that the jury would return a death sentence.
