Jury weighing Umer Hayat's terror case

SACRAMENTO - Jurors are now deliberating the cases against both Umer and Hamid Hayat, the Lodi father and son accused of having ties to terrorism.

After a day of closing arguments and jury instructions, Umer Hayat's jury got the task late Thursday afternoon of deciding whether Umer Hayat lied to FBI agents. A second jury, which began debating his son's fate a day earlier, spent all of Thursday in deliberations and left for the day with no verdict.
