On October 21, 2014, without much fanfare, Ahmed Abu Khattala made his first appearance in a federal courthouse in Washington, D.C. Unshackled, wearing a black, zip-up hooded sweatshirt, unencumbered by any extra security, he heard the charges against him and swore to tell the truth, just like any other person charged with a crime. Khattala was not, however, your average criminal defendant. He was facing the death penalty for being the alleged ringleader of a 2012 terrorist attack that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans in Benghazi, Libya. From 2001 to 2014, federal prosecutors operating in civilian criminal courts convicted 67 terrorist defendants captured on foreign soil. Voicing his support for the criminal justice system's counterterrorism role at the time of Khattala's arrest, then-U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said, "We have shown, time and again, that upholding the rule of law is not inconsistent with safeguarding our national security." Which of the following is one of the safeguards that Khattala had in a civilian criminal court? a. right select the judge who will hear the case b. right to make a plea deal c. right to call the prosecutor to the stand d. right to appeal
