FILE - In this Sept. 10, 2007 file photo, Wazhma Mojaddidi, the attorney for convicted terror probe suspect Hamid Hayat, ponders a reporter's question concerning the sentencing of Hayat to 24 years in federal prison on charges of supporting terrorists, outside the federal courthouse in Sacramento, Calif. A federal magistrate has recommended overturning the controversial conviction of Hayat, accused of attending a terrorist training camp in Pakistan and plotting an attack in the U.S. U.S. Magistrate Judge Deborah Barnes said Friday, Jan. 11, 2019, that Hayat, a young cherry picker from Lodi, likely never would have been convicted in 2006 were it not for the inexperience of his defense attorney.
