(05-05) 11:35 PDT LODI - Federal prosecutors announced today that they will retry a Lodi man after a jury deadlocked on charges that he allegedly lied to the FBI about his son's training at a Pakistani terrorist camp.
Umer Hayat, an ice cream driver, faces up to 16 years in prison if he is convicted on two charges of providing false statements to federal investigators. Hayat was released Monday on bail.
After U.S. District Judge Garland Burrell Jr. reduced Hayat's bail from $1.2 million, the equity in Hayat's home -- $390,000 -- was put up as a guarantee that he won't flee before his trial.
Jurors split 7 -5 last month in favor of conviction on one count, and 6-6 on the other, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney's Office in Sacramento.

Moussaui lied to the FBI. Wonder where he is today.
Can you imagine what might have happened if he had been an active participant in a plot to kill thousands of Americans?
What he have to put up for bail money? His ice cream truck..?
I would never convict anyone of a process crime. The FBI can lie to you so you should be able to lie to the FBI.
Thank you Thank you Jesus!
