Padilla Jury to Start Deliberations

Excerpt:
"Jurors in the terrorism trial of Jose Padilla will begin deliberations on Wednesday, after hearing Mr. Padilla’s chief public defender say the government failed to prove Mr. Padilla is a would-be terrorist.

The closing arguments of the defender, Michael Caruso, and a brief government rebuttal were the last statements the jury heard in a closely watched three-month trial meant to showcase the Bush administration’s efforts to control terrorism."
