-- Bruce Udolf, attorney for former Peruvian soccer federation president Manuel Burga, arguing that the guilty verdicts against Jose Maria Marin, the former president of the Brazilian soccer federation, and Paraguayan Juan Angel Napout, the former Conmebol president, in the FIFA corruption case should not be publicized. After six days of deliberations, the jury has not yet reached a verdict in the sole charge against Burga and was ordered to resume deliberations after Christmas. (New York Times)
