Imam Fawaz Damra Trial

(Akron, Ohio) Tomorrow, Fawaz Damra goes on trial in U.S. District Court in Akron for lying on immigration documents and during interviews when he went through his U.S. naturalization process. However, according to this report, Damra's trial is a terrorist trial. He is accused of lying about his close and supportive association with well-known terrorist organizations.
Regardless of what U.S. District Judge James S. Gwin allows jurors to hear about Damra's terror connections, government lawyers hope to make one thing clear to jurors: Fawaz Damra -- the smallish, stoic-looking, 41-year-old man sitting across from them -- helped terrorists like Osama bin Laden, and lied to keep those affiliations hidden.
It seems the government has a strong case, if the judge allows the evidence.
