He was held there for three and a half years without being charged with any crime, or access to any judicial proceeding whatsoever. In November 2005, the Bush administration finally charged him in civilian court in order to avoid a unfavorable ruling by the Supreme Court in his petition for a writ of ceritorari from the lower court decision in his habeas corpus appeal. He was charged with vague counts of material support for terrorism, and the "dirty bomb" claims were quietly dropped for lack of evidence. Padilla converted first to Christian protestant fundamentalism and then later to Sunni Islamic fundamentalism.
