SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (AP) - A jury is considering the case of Jesse James Hollywood, who is accused of kidnapping a teenager over a drug debt and then ordering his death in a case that inspired the 2007 movie "Alpha Dog."
The jurors began deliberating Wednesday after hearing more than a month of testimony about the August 2000 killing. They were expected to continue Thursday.
Hollywood faces the death penalty if convicted of kidnapping 15-year-old Nicholas Markowitz because the boy's half-brother owed him money for marijuana. Hollywood has acknowledged taking the boy but denied having any role in the teen's death.
