Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update: Geele Trial Closes

* the courtroom phase of the trial against Kurt Westergaard's January 1, 2010 home invader Mohammed Geele ended yesterday with summary statements by the lawyers. Geele chose not to speak again on his own behalf. Sentencing should come by the end of the week.

* police wiretaps reveal the outline of the plans made by since-incarcerated men hoping to shoot up the Jyllands-Posten newspaper over the winter holiday just past -- a 20 minute shooting spree. The article leads with the threat of throat-cutting, but oddly enough that sounds like the shape of a prayer more than it does an actual plan. Jyllands-Posten was the original home of the Danish Cartoons in Fall 2005.
