Robert M. Chesney, the Charles I. Francis Professor in Law at the University of Texas School of Law, took part in two online debates over the mixed verdict in the trial of Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani.
At the New York Times’s Room for Debate blog, Chesney wrote about the consequences the mixed verdict will have for trials of other suspected terrorists.
And at Foreign Policy, Chesney wrote about the ways in which people on both the left and right are making exaggerated claims about the trial’s outcome.
