Jury Deliberates in Lassana Cisse Murder Trial

In Malta, jurors began deliberating in the trial of former soldier Lorin Scicluna, who faces nine charges, including the 2019 murder of Lassana Cisse and attempted murders. Scicluna denies the charges and has blamed fellow former soldier Francesco Fenech, but prosecutors argue Scicluna may be guilty even if he did not fire the fatal shots; they allege the attack was racially motivated. Separately, a West Virginia jury is expected to begin deliberations Monday in Gregory Casto’s trial over the 2014 death of Cindy Ball, whose body was concealed. Witnesses described a troubled relationship and recounted incidents in which Casto allegedly pointed a gun at Ball; Casto is charged with first-degree murder and concealment of a dead body.
