Jakubowski’s Federal Jury To Start Deliberating

A federal court jury in Madison will start deliberating today (Tuesday) in the case of Joseph Jakubowski, the man accused of burglarizing a gun shop and spending ten days on the run. The 33-year-old Janesville man testified Monday in the first day of the proceeding — and he admitted that he committed the April gun shop burglary, in which 18 weapons and two silencers were stolen from Armageddon Supplies in Janesville. Jakubowski’s lawyer also told jurors that his cient committed the break in — but he cited a “hole” in the prosecution’s case and told jurors to listen for it. Jakubowski is charged with federal counts of stealing firearms in a burglary, and possessing weapons as a convicted felon. He also faces a state trial next month.
