Closing arguments were held at the trial of two men, accused of having been hired by people tied to the Iranian government to murder the Iranian-American journalist and human rights activist, Masih Alinejad, at her home in New York City. Defense attorneys did not dispute that the Iranians were allegedly targeting the journalist, but fiercely disagreed that their clients were involved in the plot. One defense lawyer even acted out the testimony of a key witness, like a scene from a movie, to convince the jury that the murder-conspiracy is fabricated fiction.
