New York Times reports that
David Bruck,
A leading defense lawyer who specializes in death penalty cases has been chosen to represent one of the five men accused of plotting the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks before a military tribunal at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, overcoming a key obstacle to the war crimes trial.
Mr. Bruck has handled several high-profile death penalty cases, including representing Dylann S. Roof, who killed nine black churchgoers in South Carolina in June 2015; Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, one of the brothers who carried out the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013; and Susan Smith, a woman in South Carolina who drowned her two young sons in 1994. Mr. Roof and Mr. Tsarnaev are on federal death row.
