U.S. District Judge Katherine Forrest in Manhattan warned jurors not to be “swayed by sympathy, prejudice or fear.”
As WCBS 880’s Irene Cornell reported, jurors began their deliberations by asking the judge for the exhibits in the case that make up what prosecutors call a trail of evidence linking Mustafa to 11 acts of terrorism.
The indictment charges what is described as “criminal activity spanning the globe,” Cornell reported.
Mustafa, also known by the aliases Abu Hamza and Abu Hamza al-Masri, testified on his own behalf in the month-long trial.
