(Irfan Khan / Los Angeles Times)
A jury drawn from a wide swath of Southern California began deliberating Friday morning whether to convict suspended Los Angeles city Councilmember Mark Ridley-Thomas of corruption charges.Before the panel of 12 entered the deliberation room, a federal prosecutor delivered a comprehensive rejoinder to the arguments put forth by Ridley-Thomas' defense, urging jurors to assess the evidence "by the facts, the law, and common sense" and find the veteran politician guilty.
