BOSTON, MASS. (WPRI) - Jury deliberations in the kidnapping trial of the man who calls himself "Clark Rockefeller" began on Monday afternoon.

Rockefeller, whose real name is Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter, is charged with taking off with his 7-year-old daughter, Reigh, during a supervised visit in Boston last July

In closing arguments Monday, the prosecution depicted him as a master manipulator who was angry when he kidnapped his daughter.  But, Gerhartsreiter's lawyers told the jury he was a loving father
who had a mental illness that exploded when he lost custody of his daughter.
