MIAMI (AP) — The lawyer for convicted terrorism plotter Jose Padilla is seeking a delay in his December resentencing hearing to allow time for family visits at a South Florida jail.

Attorney Michael Caruso says in court documents that the 42-year-old Padilla has only been visited once by family since his original sentencing in 2008 and is very fragile psychologically.
