Prosecutors in the case against a former college student accused of trying to detonate a bomb near Pioneer Courthouse Square in Portland will begin presenting evidence in the case today, KOIN Local 6 reports.
During open arguments Friday, the prosecution painted Mohamed Mohamud as a calculating jihadist intent on killing as many people as possible with what he thought was an 1,800-pound bomb packed into a van in November 2010, KOIN reported.
His attorney, Steve Sady, says Mohamud was entrapped by an undercover FBI agent who provided the fake bomb.
“It’s a matter of going too far,” Sady said during open arguments Friday.
