So many things wrong with your statement.
1. The odds of them being found not guilty are basically zero.
2. Even if they were found not guilty, they'd be deported back to their country of origin. They would in no way be on a path to citzenship.
3. As for the safety of judge, jury, and people of New York, unless KSM has superpowers we're unaware of, they'll be fine.
1. Since when civil trials are just a formality? In what country? Not in this one! Innocent until proven guilty. Beyond a resonable doubt. Jury of 12 peers.. Any of this ring a bell?
2. Based on what? If aquitted after "serving" years in US prisons and camps, and as innocent man they have certain rights, citizenship and damages among them.
3. Who's talking about KSM powers?
Look, KSM and others will probably still get convicted and will probably be executed. But, the craziness is that they
could get off, and they
could scream coersion, and they
could launch a defense and get into their upbringing.
Why are we making effort to give them more opportunites to showcase themselves and lighten the justice for what they did?
Just watch, publicized trial will make these guys seem more human and people will forget what they did. We're gonna watch, and the whole world is gonna watch. What do you think terrorists reaction is gonna be like?
