[quote:Weasel Keeper:MV8yMjU2Nzk4XzM4MzQ3MTQ5X0UyRUIzQ0U0] [quote:Anonymous Coward 33132554:MV8yMjU2Nzk4XzM4MzQ3MTAxXzg4NUM3MUQy] How is it legal for them to be tried in here? They were in Somali waters or international waters. Isn't piracy a legal industry in Somali? If so then they didn't break the law. I am on the pirates side. All the shipping is so bad for the marine environment and they run over whales and other creatures all the time. I hope piracy becomes so rampant that all this shipping stops.

Nearly two dozen pirates have been convicted in U.S. courts in connection with the seziure of foriegn vessels, but the trial in Norfolk marks the first death penalty case brought against pirates in the U.S.
