Nut?

The police have a phrase for an unstable person who deliberately puts themselves in harms way by waving a gun around or charging an officer in an effort to provoke them into firing their weapon. They call it "suicide by cop."

Much the same is going on in Zacarias Moussaoui's federal trial. The prosecution had a weak terrorism conspiracy case against the guy, until Zac, who is way north of stable himself, takes the stand and fills in the blanks for them. The jury then decides he's eligible for the death penalty, which is exactly what the self professed Al Queda member and terrorist wannbe wants. Unfortunately, the best criminal justice system in the world isn't set up to deal with suicide by court.
