The government's principal witness testified last week that AbdelJalil wanted him to put rat poison in the food buffet at Khatib's Brown Derby restaurant.
Mario Ottallah says AbdelJalil gave him a enough poison to "kill a camel." "We're going to close the place," Ottallah quoted AbdelJalil as saying.
The defense intends to put on evidence that Khatib has a penchant for setting fires himself, though he told the Grand Jury investigating the Abeds that he'd never been convicted of arson.
