The three-person panel was part of the 9/11, Today and Tomorrow speakers series hosted by the National September 11 Memorial & Museum at the 9/11 Memorial Preview Site, 20 Vesey St. According to a news report by DNAinfo.com’s Julie Shapiro, the panel debated over whether the trial should be held in a civilian court in the Southern District of New York or a military tribunal. The cost of security and the impact it would have on the lives of the city’s residents were also covered, the report noted.
