After nine weeks of testimony and arguments, the last word to the jurors Friday was from the prosecutor who implored them to convict the defendants on all counts. Earlier in the day they had heard from a defense lawyer who said that the three defendants had not broken the law.

Jurors were told to select a foreperson and then were to be sent home until Tuesday when they will begin their deliberations. Monday is a court holiday.
