Expect Chief U.S. District Judge A. Joe Fish, who is presiding over the Holy Land Foundation trial in Dallas, to read jurors their instructions for deliberations Wednesday afternoon or possibly as late as Thursday morning. First, the defense lawyers are expected to finish up their closings on Wednesday morning. Then the prosecutors, as is customary in criminal cases, will get two hours for their rebuttal. Those curious about the content of the voluminous documents, audiotapes and videotapes referred to and played at the lengthy trial can click on the court’s Web site and browse -- an interesting resource for those following the trial and anyone with interest in the Middle East conflict.
