Yesterday, the trial of Naser Jason Abdo concluded. KWBU's Becky Fogel was in the courtroom.
Naser Jason Abdo-known for outbursts in court-sat quietly as he listened to the verdict in his trial. After a little over an hour of deliberation, the jury found Abdo guilty on all 6 counts, including the most serious charge: attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction.
During closing arguments, the lead Defense Attorney, Zachary Boyd, asserted that Abdo's actions did not constitute an attempt to commit an attack. Federal prosecutors contended that Abdo had both plans and intent to carry out the attack, and the most convincing evidence seemed to come from the words of Abdo himself captured in two separate videos.
Greg Sofer a co-counsel with the Federal Prosecution:
"The best person to explain that is going to be the person who is charged with the crime, and Mr. Abdo did that very well."
Sentencing is set for July 20th and Abdo could face up to life in prison.
For KWBU, I'm Becky Fogel.
