(AP) -- MOUNT CLEMENS - A Macomb County jury is expected to continue deliberations in the trial of an 18-year-old accused of carrying out a crime spree that included the gunpoint abduction and killing of a man.
Jurors will continue deliberations for a second day Friday in the trial of Ihab Maslamani. Maslamani and 17-year-old Robert Taylor are charged in the August 2009 abduction and slaying of 21-year-old Matt Landry of Chesterfield Township. Taylor's trial is upcoming.
Defense lawyer Joseph Kosmala says Maslamani did rob a bank and steal a car but denies his client killed Landry. Authorities say Landry was kidnapped at gunpoint in Eastpointe and held four days in a vacant Detroit house before being shot in the head.
