Description:The fate of the so-called Cannibal Cop is now in the hands of the jury.
Jurors began deliberating shortly before 4 p.m. Thursday afternoon after closing arguments in the case that centered on whether Gilberto Valle intended to carry out heinous acts on women, or whether it was all fantasy.
Valle would have gone through with his plans to kidnap, kill and eat women had the FBI not stepped in, according to a federal prosecutor in her closing statements to a jury Thursday morning.(1:23)
