LOU WATERS, CNN ANCHOR: The so-called embassy bombings trial is drawing to a close in New York City. Attorneys are expected to wrap up their closing arguments today. CNN's Deborah Feyerick is keeping watch in New York and joins us now with the latest on all of this -- Deborah.</s>DEBORAH FEYERICK, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, Lou, they did finish their closing arguments this morning, and defense attorneys really kept it very simple. They represent the two men who could face the death penalty, and the closing arguments were really the longest amount of time that they spent in front of the jury. That's because they called no witnesses during this three-month trial. That is something they decided along with their client. Now, the lawyer from Mohammed al-'Owhali, he basically told the jury that the statement given to the FBI agents should be tossed out because it was coerced. He said the government had not proven that there was any overall, larger conspiracy that his client was a part of. And the lawyer for Khalfan Mohammed also made a similar argument, saying basically not only was he not part of a conspiracy, but he wasn't even asked to join the terrorist organization after he finished his military training. Right now in the afternoon, the prosecutors will have one last chance at the jury during a rebuttal summation, and then this goes to the jury -- Lou.</s>WATERS: Deborah Feyerick in New York.
