SNIPPET: “A federal judge in Camden today rejected arguments from defense lawyers asking to overturn the convictions of five men found guilty of plotting to attack Fort Dix.
The five men, immigrants from Albania, Turkey and Jordan, were convicted in December and face life in prison.”
SNIPPET: “The judge scheduled sentencing for three of the men, brothers Dritan, Shain and Eljvir Duka, April 22. He said he would sentence the other two, Mohamad Shnewer and Serdar Tatar, the next day.”
