Now that jurors have decided Zacarias

Moussaoui could have prevented or

at least minimized 9-11...prosecutors
begin the final push to have him

pay ...with his life.

During phase two of the sentencing
trial.....government lawyers will

play...for the first time in public...
the cockpit voice recording from

flight 93. That plane went down in a
Pennsylvania field after

passengers fought back against
hijackers.

And prosecutors will re-create the
emotions and terror of 9-11 with

testimony from former New York City
mayor Rudy Giuliani and from up to

45 family members of victims.

sot: Abraham Scott/Husband of 911

Victim

"After observing him in the courtroom
and interacting with a lot of the

family members, I want him to be put to
death."

But the mother of flight 93 victim Mark
Bingham wants Moussaoui spared

to prove this is a nation of mercy.

sot: Ann Hoagland/Mother of 911 Victim

"If he is executed he will be seen as a
martyr in eyes of his twisted

fellows who compose al-qaida."

(sketches: William Hennessy Jr.)

Moussaoui's apparent desire to be seen
as a martyr is one of the

defense's biggest arguments...they are
also calling the 37 year old

al-qaida conspirator a schizophrenic.

standup close/sirgany

Jurors will get another chance to
decide Moussaoui's competency when he

takes the stand as expected and likely
claims again he was supposed to

be a 5th pilot on 9-11
