A New York federal judge will consider Monday whether to dismiss charges against a man accused of lying to a grand jury about the Sept. 11 hijackers because he was wearing handcuffs during his testimony. Defense attorneys say this week's U.S. Supreme Court ruling on the shackling of criminal defendants gives them a strong argument for winning dismissal of the charges against Osama Awadallah, who was detained shortly after the terror attacks as a material witness.

A federal judge will weigh dismissing charges against a man accused of lying to a grand jury about the Sept. 11, 2001, hijackers because he was wearing handcuffs during his testimony.
Southern District of New York Judge Shira Scheindlin will hold the hearing Monday, on the eve of opening arguments in the case of Osama Awadallah, whose lawyers cited a U.S. Supreme Court case issued earlier this week that states the shackling of a criminal defendant undermines the presumption of innocence.
