Jury resumes in 'Rockefeller' case
BOSTON - JURY deliberations have resumed in the kidnapping trial of the German-born man who calls himself Clark Rockefeller.

The Suffolk Superior Court jury of eight women and four men started deliberating Tuesday morning.

The jurors weighed the case for about 3 1/2 hours Monday.

Defense lawyers say Rockefeller, whose real name is Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter, descended into 'pure madness' when he kidnapped his 7-year-old daughter during a supervised visit in Boston last July.

Father and daughter were found in Baltimore six days later. The girl was unharmed.

A prosecutor called Gerhartsreiter's insanity claim 'preposterous' and said he was a master manipulator who planned the kidnapping for months and knew it was wrong. -- AP
