Jurors received the case Thursday afternoon and deliberated for two hours after prosecutors and defense lawyers delivered closing arguments.

The Local 25 members are accused of threatening the "Top Chef" staff, including its host, Padma Lakshmi. She testified she was "terrified" when a Teamster confronted her outside the Steel & Rye restaurant in Milton where the Bravo series filmed in 2014.

Prosecutors said the Teamsters used strong-arm tactics and attempted to disrupt filming for the show in an attempt to extort jobs as drivers with union-scale wages.

Lawyers for the men told the jury they were merely demonstrating against the non-union crew.
