Lawyer seeks to bar terrorism reference at Palestinian's trial

Lawyers for a Palestinian activist from Chicago convicted for a fatal bombing in Israel urged a judge Tuesday to bar any reference to terrorism at her upcoming trial on immigration charges.

 

Rasmieh Odeh, associate director at the Arab American Action Network in Chicago, is charged with illegally getting US citizenship in 2004 after failing to disclose her convictions for bombings in Israel 45 years ago.

 

Jurors likely would turn against Odeh if prosecutors and witnesses describe the acts as terrorism, defense attorney Michael Deutsch said.
