A request to add the following:
[edit]"One of the jurors who convicted him said Chandia hardly seemed a security risk. The case 'shouldn't have been brought at all,' Robert Stosch told The Washington Post." [1]
- ↑ Hardball Tactics in an Era of Threats The Washington Post
In the end, officials acknowledge that they will never know how dangerous the local men were. "Did we break something up? Yeah, we think we did," said a law enforcement official involved in the case, speaking on condition of anonymity under Justice Department rules. "But we would not profess to say we had anything more than the potential for it." The source is already part of the references mentioned here.

- The fellow remains a terror convict. Anonymous apprehensions about the trial are not going to be entertained in the article. Bring someone/something of note who has commented about this. Gotitbro (talk) 16:47, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
- A juror named Robert Stosch added "that he thought the case "shouldn't have been brought at all. It was very insignificant." And he said the whole investigation was "way too minor, regardless of whether they convicted 11 people." 'Va.

- The juror of course is not an expert or reliable source on the validity of the case. It's an opinion. I don't think it adds anything or much to the article. Do they not have to have unanimous juror votes to convict? Alaney2k (talk) 18:32, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
- Understood. But since there are many opinion in this article, I thought another one would not hurt. In any case, thanks. 119.155.3.144 (talk) 18:37, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
- It's an odd bit of opinion as he must have voted guilty. Maybe he thought it would not lead to a long sentence. Trial prosecutors don't state the recommended length of sentence until after the conviction. What Chandia did was illegal. The judgment of the morality of his actions is outside of the scope of Wikipedia text which has a policy of a neutral point of view. It's ok to provide information to show that many thought the sentence was overly long and harsh. I'm not sure of the value of stating he was a great teacher in some persons' opinions. There was a lot of evidence that Chandia was helping a dangerous group, and aware of its activities. And it would later mount a large deadly attack. Alaney2k (talk) 20:13, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
