Natural Sound The trial of the self-confessed killer of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin has been adjourned and the judges have retired to consider their verdict.Although Amir has pleaded guilty to the killing, his defence lawyers are arguing that he wasn't in charge of his senses on the night of the murder.The judges are expected to announce their verdict in the next few days. Prosecution and defence lawyers on Sunday began summing up in the trial of Yigal Amir, the self-confessed assassin of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.Amir looked as relaxed and cheerful as he has done from the start of his case he chatted to his legal team.He pleaded guilty to murdering Rabin when he first appeared before the court last November. But in their closing statements, his defence argued Amir was not in charge of his senses on the night of the murder and that he should be convicted only of attempted murder.Arguing for the murder charge, Israeli State Prosecutor Pnina Guy quoted Amir's own testimony that after he fired his first bullet he fired two more "just to make sure".Amir would face up to 20 years in prison if convicted of manslaughter.You can license this story through AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/metadata/you...
