Attorneys alleged Virginia prosecutors are "ultimately not interested in IIIT ... but want to revisit the Tampa trial."[107] In a motion filed on March 4, 2009, prosecutors in Virginia acknowledged that when Al-Arian took the plea deal in early 2006, prosecutors in Tampa believed that it exempted him from testifying in other cases.[108] This affirms sworn declarations submitted to the court by Al-Arian's Florida trial attorneys, Bill Moffitt[109] and Linda Moreno.[110]
