Man convicted of planting explosives in N.Y. argues he shot at N.J. cops in self-defense. Jury to decide.: The lawyer for the Elizabeth man accused of attempting to kill five Linden cops during a shootout as he was arrested on charges he placed bombs in Seaside Park and New York tried to convince jurors that Ahmed Khan Rahimi opened fire in self-defense and in fear of his life.
Jurors are set to begin deliberations Thursday on the fate of Rahimi, 31, of Elizabeth, on the state charges of attempted murder. Rahimi was already convicted in federal court of planting the bombs in Manhattan and received two life sentences. He still faces separate federal charges for allegedly placing explosives along a military charity 5K race in Seaside Park.
