Former Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi leaves his residence of Palazzo Grazioli in Rome, Saturday, Feb. 25, 2012. Defense lawyers for Silvio Berlusconi are making their final arguments in the former premier's corruption trial before the court begins deliberations. A verdict in the case is expected later Saturday but is unlikely to have any lasting legal force due to statute of limitations. Prosecutors have demanded a five-year sentence. Berlusconi is accused of having paid a British lawyer $600,000 to lie in two 1990s trials related to the billionaire media mogul's business dealings.
