PHOENIX (AP) – A jury has begun deliberations at the trial of Arizona man charged with plotting an attack last spring at a Prophet Muhammad cartoon contest in Garland.
Jurors at the trial of Abdul Malik Abdul Kareem heard closing arguments most of Friday and met privately for about 20 minutes before going home.
No verdict has yet been reached.
Kareem is accused of hosting the two gunmen at his home to discuss plans for the attack, going target shooting in the remote Arizona desert with the pair and providing the guns used at the contest.
He also faces a charge of providing support to the Islamic State terrorist group.
Kareem vehemently denies the allegation.
Deliberations are scheduled to resume on Tuesday.
