PrintHoly Land trial goes to jury
WASHINGTON (JTA)—The retrial of a Muslim charity accused of funding terrorism has gone to the jury.
Deliberations were set to begin Wednesday in a Dallas federal court in the second trial of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development.

Last year’s first trial ended with no convictions and a mistrial on most of the charges.
