The jury has returned a guilty verdict in the case of Russian businessman Viktor Bout.
A jury reached the verdict in the case against Viktor Bout after deliberating since Tuesday in federal court in Manhattan. He was convicted of conspiracy to kill Americans and US officials, deliver anti-aircraft missiles and aid a terrorist organization.
He will be sentenced in February and faces up to life in prison. The New York Times reports on the verdict here.
Here's the verdict form the jury had to complete. My recent lengthy post on the trial is here. All of our coverage is available here.
