Court to Deliver Verdict in Charlie Hebdo Trial

VOA News

   A French court is set to issue verdicts Wednesday in the trial of 14
   accused accomplices in the deadly 2015 attack on a satirical magazine
   in Paris.

   The trial began in September with three of the accused being tried in
   absentia.

   Prosecutors are asking the court for convictions with sentences ranging
   from five years to life in prison.

   Defense attorneys have criticized the prosecution's case as lacking
   evidence that the suspects were involved in the attacks.
