Attorney Questions Client's Civilian Trial

• {Kentucky}...Scott Wendelsdorf, public defender for Waad Ramadan Alwan, one of two Iraqi refugees arrested in Kentucky on terrorism charges is weighing in on the question of whether his client should be tried in a civilian court. Wendelsdorf has argued in a motion that two counts of his client's indictment should be dismissed because the Geneva Convention doesn't allow those charges to be prosecuted in a U.S. civilian court. Wendelsdorf says his motion filed July 19th is about the question of jurisdiction and not about the appropriateness of trying similar cases in civilian courts. U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell has been pushing to have the two defendants tried at Guantanamo Bay.
