It appears that the five men accused of plotting an attack on the Army's Fort Dix will soon learn their fate.
U.S. District Judge Robert Kugler said jurors have told him they expect to reach a verdict sometime on Monday.
After the panel had finished its fifth day of deliberations on Sunday, Kugler said in the courtroom that he had asked all the jurors if they were comfortable with him telling lawyers and the media that they were close.
He said all agreed they were.
The five defendants, all foreign-born Muslim men who lived for years in the Philadelphia suburb of Cherry Hill, are charged with conspiring to kill military personnel and attempted murder.
They would face life in prison if convicted on those charges. But their lawyers maintain none of the defendants were plotting anything.
