SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Osama bin Laden's former driver may not go on trial this summer at Guantanamo after all.
The military lawyer for Salim Hamdan says the Supreme Court ruling on the rights of Guantanamo prisoners is likely to at least delay the Yemeni's war crimes trial.
Navy Lt. Cmdr. Brian Mizer told The Associated Press he will file a motion to dismiss the war crimes charges against Hamdan based on the court's finding that Guantanamo prisoners have constitutional rights.
The defense lawyer said Wednesday he will argue that Hamdan was denied his constitutional right to a speedy trial. The Pentagon declined immediate comment.
