Regardless of whether Osama fought back or not, the more I think about it, the less likely it seems to me the USA would want to give him a trial.
Where would this trial be held? Probably the Hague. The case will likely take a very long time (lawyers are very skilled in stretching out court cases). Osama could easily die a natural death before the end of the case.
There would definitely be terrorist attacks against the Netherlands because of this case, can you imagine the security that would be needed? Literally an army would be needed, and for over many years. Would the Netherlands want to hold this case with the threat of terrorist attacks? Would any country in the world?
The lawyers on the prosecution would get death threats, who would want to take the case?
And then there is the possibility of Osama getting off on a technicality. While the case was going on Osama would be living a relatively comfortable life, rather more comfortable than hiding in a cave.
After several years in court and no result, the American people, and people around the world would become very angry indeed. And if Osama died a natural death while the case was on-going, or got off, or they could only pin him for a few things, can you image how angry people around the world would be?
In the end, it doesn't seem likely to me that the USA wanted to give him a fair trial. They probably wanted him to put up a fight so they could kill him.
