After deliberations with the judge today, lawyer Kamal Abu Zahr smiled at reporters inside the courtroom. "Good," he said, adding that he expects his clients to be released a day later. Details of the deliberations were not clear.
Earlier, the lawyer of the Lebanese father said he expects a deal to be reached only with the mother Sally Faulkner.
Faulkner has been jailed with prominent Australian TV journalist Tara Brown and three-person camera crew on charges relating to the botched abduction. Two Britons and two Lebanese have also been charged.
