Jim Bell update: Jury to deliberate on Tuesday
I'm writing my article now, and you should check for it at Wired News tomorrow morning. In response to some queries, the highlights from today include: * Both government & defense rested at about 3:30 pm today; Judge ordered jurors to be back at 9:30 Tues for closing arguments and deliberations. * John Young and his companion did not show up on Monday, either to testify or as audience members. * Jim Bell testified under oath that he stole mail from Jeff "not an agent" Gordon's mailbox and threw it in the trash at a nearby McDonald's. * Bell accused his defense attorney of threatening his life. * Judge Tanner refused, in considering jury instructions, to allow Bell to assert a First Amendment defense for any of his actions. Details in Wired article tomorrow. -Declan
