Jury Deliberates at Trial in Chicago Schoolgirl's Killing



Jurors are deliberating at the trial of a Chicago woman accused of supplying her teenage cousin with the gun
 that authorities say she used to kill a 14-year-old rival.

The U.S. District Court jury on Thursday started delving
 into evidence against 35-year-old Vandetta Redwood. 

Jurors headed home shortly after getting the case 
late Wednesday.

Redwood is charged with giving a handgun to a juvenile
knowing it would be used to commit violence in the
 2014 shooting of Endia Martin.

Redwood shouted and cursed during the prosecution's
 closing arguments Wednesday. She said she "didn't 
kill no baby" and that others lied. Jurors were excused 
while Redwood's lawyer sought to calm her down.

If convicted, Redwood faces a maximum 15-year prison 
term. Redwood's cousin, now 17, is awaiting trial.
