Zacarias Moussaoui said he was guilty of 4 of 6 charges...

Zacarias Moussaoui said he was guilty of 4 of 6 charges accusing him of conspiring with the September 11 terrorists, then abruptly withdrew his attempted plea after arguing with the US judge.
Moussaoui had begun the hearing by saying he wanted to plead guilty to the first four of six charges against him in the indictment the US government brought him against him last December.
All 4 of the charges carry the death penalty.
But Judge Brinkema said she did not believe Moussaoui intended to admit his full guilt as laid out in the indictment, at the court in Alexandria, Virginia.
"At this point I do not believe you are prepared to make a guilty plea because you are not prepared to admit the essence of the conspiracy," Judge Brinkema said after Moussaoui tried to plead guilty to the first charge in his indictment.
Moussaoui stopped short and said"I want a recess".
The judge allowed a brief break, and then Moussaoui returned and said he wanted to withdraw the guilty plea.
The judge then ended the hearing and told the government that if the case continued to trial, she would not allow prosecutors to mention Moussaoui had tried to plead guilty once.
