Saddam Hussein will have his day in court Thursday after today's
transfer of legal custody to the new Iraqi government. Behind prison
walls that have held the former dictator since he was dragged from an
underground lair last December, Saddam is now on the road to
justice...Iraqi justice. But... One of Saddam's lawyers says any trial
would be illegal.
SOT:Mohammad Rashdan/Lawyer for Saddam Hussein
"The court is illegal, the judge is illegal"
The trial could be just one of Saddam's worries. Intense security
measures have already failed to protect Interim government officials
from militants bent on derailing Iraqi sovereignty. There is also a
risk posed by zealous victim's of Saddam's reign of terror.
SOT: Giovanni Di Stefano/Lawyer for Saddam Hussein
They are not able to guarantee his safety. So I for one, certainly
warned my colleagues that we must allow the occupying force and support
them in maintaining the physical custody."
While plans for the trial push forward....insurgents continue their

Baghdad International Airport Wednesday, said to be housing Hussein as
he awaits trial.

(( Last week, Christopher Picard pled guilty to murdering former teacher's aide Lori Boyd -- after his D-N-A was found on a bedsheet near the murder scene.
But, in court documents unsealed Tuesday, prosecutor Cliff Hapgood accused Picard's attorney, William Stanley of withholding that evidence.
In October of 2003, Stanley hired a lab to test the bedsheet, in hopes that it would clear Picard.
Stanley agreed to share the results with Hapgood, but when they came back, Stanley told the court the sheet had been contaminated, and therefore the results were inconclusive.
However, Hapgood later had that SAME sheet tested in April -- and the results showed it had NOT been contaminated.
In fact, it contained both Picard's and the victim's D-N-A.
Hapgood says when he went to get a copy of the first lab results, he was denied the report.
[ON CAMERA]
William Stanley told News 7 that he only had ONE sample of the bedsheet tested, and the results were IN FACT inconclusive.
He says he simply couldn't afford to have the entire bedsheet tested, like the Commonwealth did.
If he had, Stanley says his strategy to defend Picard would have been entirely different.

In the Peterson courtroom defense attorney Mark Geragos got stung by his
own tactics as the battered district attorney Rick Distaso struck back:
SUPER: DAN HOROWITZ, LEGAL ANALYST
The mouse took on the lion. Rick Distaso challenged Mark Geragos and he
won. He got evidence before that jury that never should have been seen.
That evidence was a phone tip from someone claiming Scott Peterson told
them in detail in 1995 how he would "get rid of a body". Exactly the
same way Laci's body was dumped in salt water, wrapped in duct tape and
anchored with concrete:
It's evidence police detective Al Broccini testified that could not be
confirmed. But prosecutors were able to tell the jury about it because
defense attorney Geragos has introduced several unsubstantiated tips
trying to show police failed to do a thorough investigation.
SUPER: DEAN JOHNSON, CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY
The prosecution came out with its game face on today. This is what they
needed to do the last 5 weeks ii is stand up to the jury and make this
