Moussaoui's expedited death sentence

The jury spared him the death penalty, which will speed up his execution.

Death penalty cases take decades, but Moussaoui will be dead within two years. High-profile, heinous criminals aren't always well-liked by their fellow inmates. Look what happened to Jeffrey Dahmer, the serial cannibal, and John Geoghan, the convicted pedophile priest. (Both murdered in prison, in case you missed it.)

It will take a while for the opportunity to present itself, but what lifer wouldn't want such a badge of honor? I'm sure that's how it will be seen. (I haven't actually spent any time in prison, but I do watch a lot of Law & Order.)
