So the little bastard decided to boycott his own hearing? Too bad for him.
"Khadr is accused of killing Army Sgt. 1st Class Christopher Speer, 28, of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and wounding Army Sgt. Layne Morris, of West Jordan, Utah, in the August 2002 firefight.
The wounded soldier and Speer's widow filed a civil lawsuit against Khadr and his father, a suspected al-Qaida financier who authorities believe was killed in Pakistan. In February, a judge awarded them US$102.6 million (€83.7 million) in their suit, though they have been unable to collect the judgment and the family's assets are unknown."
