Before Omar Khadr's trial was interrupted, his lawyers attempted to exclude evidence that appeared on national TV

From the Weekly Standard, a report of how the Khadr lawyers want to exclude video evidence showing Omar Khadr assembling and planting improvised explosive devices (IEDs) along with his al Qaeda compatriots.
"The video is certainly one of the more damning pieces of evidence against Khadr. So, it is no surprise that Khadr’s attorneys tried to have it excluded."
You can see the 60 Minutes report on Omar Khadr and the video in question here. My favourite part is when the Khadrs in Toronto talk about the appeal of the 72 virgins. This stands as an indictment of Canada's immigration policy.
