Osama bin Laden – on trial?

Published Friday, Nov 23 2001, 01:23 GMT | By Audrey Bowerman
Forget O.J. Simpson -- the trial of Osama bin Laden would truly be the “trial of the century.??? Citizens the world over are demanding that bin Laden be brought to justice. But how, exactly, would that happen?

Court TV, in conjunction with ABC News, has asked – and attempted to answer – that question. Catherine Crier, a former judge, will host the one-hour special presentation “Osama bin Laden On Trial,??? set to air November 29.

Crier is joined by a number of noted legal experts, from defence attorneys F. Lee Bailey and Ron Kuby to former federal prosecutors Ronald Goldstock and Matthew Fishbein. Together, they will use the familiar courtroom setting to explore how the defence and prosecution might construct their cases for and against the elusive terrorist in the American justice system.

Also featured are exclusive interviews with ABC News correspondents Brian Ross and John Miller, two journalists who have spent years looking into bin Laden's trail. Miller, one of the only American journalists to interview bin Laden face to face, offers unique insight into the suspect and the evidence that has been amassed so far.

???Osama bin Laden On Trial??? will premiere on Court TV on Thursday, November 29 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
