ZOOM IN: (SOUNDBITE) (English) ANTHONY RICCO, ODEH LAWYER SAYING: "It was a very tense atmosphere, because there were very powerful statements made by victims. It sort of reduced our legal arguments to, what legal arguments are often reduced to. They're outside of pain and frustration and injury that many suffered. Mr. Odeh is a deeply religious person and he has his faith in God, and that's what he is clinging to" 1.42 (U7) UNIDENTIFIED LOCATION (FILE) (HANDOUT - ACCESS ALL) 9.

I would like to see them spending a lifetime thinking about what they have done. I think life in prison without the chance of parole is an appropriate response." 3.44 17.
