Jury Deliberating in Du Pont Trial

Jurors began deliberating in multimillionaire John E. du Pont’s murder trial in Media, Pa., after a defense lawyer urged them to view the killing of an Olympic wrestler through a “prism of psychosis.” Defense attorney Thomas Bergstrom asked the jury to find the chemical fortune heir not guilty by reason of insanity in the shooting of David Schultz on his suburban Philadelphia estate. The prosecution seeks life imprisonment for du Pont, 58. Under an insanity verdict, du Pont would remain in a mental institution until he is considered cured, then freed. If found guilty but mentally ill, he would undergo mental treatment, and then prison if he is ever deemed cured.
