In perhaps the most remarkable development of the day, the defendants—seated with their lawyers behind one another in five consecutive rows—could be seen talking, gesticulating and signaling, apparently taking their cues from Mohammed. Defense lawyers said they were shocked that Judge Kohlmann permitted the communications without admonition. "It's utterly shameful," said defense lawyer Durkin during an afternoon break in the proceeding. "I've never seen this in 35 years of practicing law." The judge and prosecutors were permitting it "so it will be argued that it's proof of the conspiracy."
But the issue came to a head later in the day when the military lawyer for one of the defendants, Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi, another accused 9/11 financier, said in court that his client had been pressured by Mohammed and the other defendants to reject his court-appointed lawyers. Until last night his client was prepared to accept them, but changed his mind after the morning session, Major Jon Jackson, an Army lawyer appointed to represent al Hawsawi, told the judge.
"He was basically subject to intimidation by the other defendants," Jackson said. "He was basically told he was in the army now." This communication "has led my client to potentially change his mind. I don't believe this is voluntary."
Jackson urged the judge to hold off on requiring Hawsawi to choose whether he wanted to accept his defense lawyers or represent himself. Kohlmann said he would consider the motion, but began his inquiry of Hawsawi anyway—only to suspend it after a few minutes when he concluded the defendant was confused by his questions.
The session concluded with a formal reading of the charges, in which the chief prosecutor, Bob Swann, coldly read out the highlights: that the defendants did commit murder "in the violation of the laws of war" that led to the deaths of 2,970 people. The judge then asked the defendants to rise for the formal arraignment: All five remained seated. The judge then said he would defer their entering of pleas to a later date.
