Court documents show jurors deliberating in the case of Dr. Randeep Mann asked a federal judge several questions, but none of them had to do with the bombing at the home of the Arkansas State Medical Board chairman.

Jurors declined to comment after convicting Mann of using a weapon of mass destruction in the February 2009 bombing that nearly killed Dr. Trent Pierce. But jury notes filed in court after the verdict show that the panel asked five questions, most of them dealing with the federal weapons charges that Mann faced.

Mann could face a sentence of up to life in prison.
