Anti-Semitism trial.
27 young people are on trial in the case, which drew nationwide attention and raised concerns about anti-Semitism. The victim's family says Ilan Halimi was killed because he was Jewish. The group's suspected ringleader, Youssouf Fofana, said he had friends in the court "to take pictures to identify people. Some thought he was alluding to the jurors, saying he had the means to put a price on their heads," said Francis Szpiner, lawyer for the Halimi family.
