The teenager, Abduwali Abdukhadir Muse, has also been unable to communicate with others in the jail, the Metropolitan Correctional Center, because of a lack of interpreters, the lawyer, Philip L. Weinstein, said. "It has an impact," Mr. Weinstein told a judge in Federal District Court in Manhattan, where Mr. Muse was arraigned on a 10-count federal indictment.

Mr. Muse's age could also be an issue at sentencing time. Although he agreed to be judged as an adult as part of the agreement, one of his court-appointed lawyers, Philip L. Weinstein, made clear in court on Tuesday that his age could be used as a mitigating factor at sentencing.

One of his go-to sources, apparently the guy pushing the SEALS-as-thieves story, is a lawyer named Philip L. Weinstein, who represented one pirate (and who wants the missing $30k, perhaps). Weinstein is a a man who never served in the military and doesn't think much of those who do or have done. Who does he like? That's easy. He's become a go-to guy for terrorists, pirates and al-Qaeda.

"We started off with a blank page and no one to consult," said Philip L Weinstein of the Federal Public Defenders Office in New York, who represents Muse. The only other modern-day piracy case Weinstein said he was aware of was a case from Hawaii. But that 2002 incident involved a crew member of a foreign fishing vessel convicted of killing his captain and first mate and commandeering the ship before being captured by the U.S. Coast Guard.

Mr. Santiago's federal defenders, Philip L. Weinstein and Annalisa Mirón, say in court papers that by waiting five years to pursue charges in civilian court, the government "gained an unfair tactical advantage," depriving their client of certain broader protections afforded in military court and complicating their effort to obtain testimony from the only other witness to the shooting, an Iraqi interpreter. "That's no way to treat somebody who puts their life on the line for their country," Mr. Weinstein said in a phone interview.

After the hearing, Mr. Weinstein said that his client was now looking for a good job. "He has a skill set that is very unique," Mr. Weinstein said. "He schooled the agents on things they didn't know about."
