Wrangling over legalities is expected to delay at least some of trials, perhaps into next year, well after President Bush has left office. Such contentiousness is not unusual in high-stakes cases, particularly those involving the death penalty, but this time the defendants have even more reason to delay. All three candidates vying for the White House have already called for shutting down Guantanamo. If that were to happen, some or all of the trials might have to be transferred to the U.S. mainland, and possibly even to federal courts, where the defendants would enjoy broader legal rights...

Former standout wide receiver Mazza made the decision to delay graduation in 2007 after the Crimson’s less-than-spectacular 2006 season.
