This undated photo submitted into evidence by Assistant Federal Defender Julia L. Gatto shows Gilberto Valle with his daughter. Valle is accused of conspiracy to kidnap a woman and unauthorized use of a law enforcement database that prosecutors say he used to help build a list of potential targets. Gatto tried to soften the image of her client by showing jurors pictures of a uniformed Valle and the couple?s 1-year-old daughter, a moment that caused the wife on the witness stand and eventually the officer at the defense table 30 feet away to cry out amid sobs.

NEW YORK (AP) ? Prosecutors say a New York City police officer illegally used a police laptop in his patrol car to look up information on three women he is accused of targeting in a cannibalism conspiracy.
The government elicited information Friday from police department witnesses about Officer Gilberto Valle's (VAL'-ee's) use of a national crime database.
The testimony came as the government winds down its case against the 28-year-old officer. Valle is charged with conspiring to kidnap, kill and eat six women he knew, including his wife. If convicted, he could face life in prison.
Defense lawyers are expected to call witnesses next week to support their argument that Valle never intended to harm anyone and was indulging only in Internet fantasies.
