Strange twist (via Sac Bee):

Hamid Hayat, the 23-year-old Lodi man on trial for terrorist-related activities in Sacramento federal court, was found guilty Tuesday, just hours after a mistrial was declared in the related trial of his father, who was accused of lying to the FBI to cover up for his son.

Hayat was found guilty of providing material support to terrorists by allegedly attending an al-Qaida camp while visiting Pakistan in 2003 and three counts of lying about it. He faces up to 39 years in prison if convicted of all charges against him.

The jury’s verdict came roughly six hours after U.S. District Court Judge Garland E. Burrell Jr. declared a mistrial in the case of Hayat’s father, Umer Hayat, after the jury in notified the judge they were deadlocked.
