question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Menendez is Neutral . Newark  New Jersey (CNN) Twelve jurors began their deliberations Monday in the federal corruption trial of  Sen. Bob Menendez and a wealthy ophthalmologist --  the outcome of which could determine the political future of the New Jersey Democrat.
"I am convinced that I will be declared not guilty  innocent of all charges "  Menendez  told reporters heading into court Monday morning.
The Justice Department's 18-count public corruption indictment accuses  the senator  of accepting over $600 000 in political contributions  free rides on a private jet  and a swanky hotel suite in Paris from Dr. Salomon Melgen.
In exchange  prosecutors say  Menendez  abused the power of  his  office by pressuring federal officials in the Obama administration and other career diplomats to help Melgen resolve a number of business disputes.
Addressing the jury in Menendez's defense  attorney Abbe Lowell told jurors that prosecutors had tried to lead them astray with distractions about beach vacations Melgen provided  but never showed any corrupt agreement.
Lowell urged jurors to focus instead on the "true  honest and lawful" 25-year friendship between Menendez and Melgen  highlighting the $1 000 wedding gift the senator gave to Melgen's daughter.
"Defendants want you to believe that friendship and bribery cannot co-exist -- that is not the law " Koski said. "The issue in this case is not whether  Sen. Menendez and Melgen were friends  -- the issue is whether  they  committed a crime together."
Koski also suggested that the defense lawyers had engaged in "sleight of hand" by suggesting Menendez was more focused on the underlying policy issues raised by Melgen's business problems and that testimony from the senator's character witnesses was unpersuasive.
Over the course of eight weeks  the seven-woman  five-man jury heard from 57 witnesses -- including FBI special agents  pilots  ambassadors and former Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius   as well as a slew of character witnesses in support of  Menendez .
Both  Menendez  and Melgen opted not to testify in  their  own defense -- a choice the judge explicitly instructed the jury to ignore as the defendants' constitutional right.
For the $660 000 in political donations Melgen is accused of making to benefit Menendez in 2012  however  Walls told the jurors they needed to find an "explicit agreement."
answer:
yes


question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Zach LaVine February is Negative . Zach LaVine  created headlines during the Summer League in July when  he  said  he  planned to return from  his  February left ACL tear by the Oct. 19 season opener.
While declining to put a timeline on  LaVine 's return  executive vice president John Paxson said "that's a pretty safe bet" to rule  LaVine  out of that opener and reiterated the organization's conservative approach for its new centerpiece.
While pleased with his progress   LaVine  admitted doctors told  him   he 'd be sidelined a minimum of nine months  which would place  his  return to practice in early November at the earliest.  LaVine  said  he  won't change  his  style of play and is encouraged that  his  running and jumping stats are better than when  he  participated in the draft combine before  his  rookie season.
"I can't stand just sitting here "  LaVine  said. "But I'm working hard so when I get back I'm not going to have any constraints."
The Bulls have until Oct. 16 to sign  LaVine   22  to a long-term extension. Otherwise   he  becomes a restricted free agent next summer. Either way  general manager Gar Forman basically said the Bulls didn't trade Jimmy Butler to not re-sign LaVine.
"I want to be here for a long period of time "  LaVine  said. "If (an extension is) now or later  I know it's going to be done either way."
answer:
no


question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Rex Tillerson is Neutral . Rex Tillerson could be on  his  way to serving one of the shortest tenures of any Secretary of State in U.S. history.
âThere are no personnel announcements at this time â White House spokesman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement. â Secretary Tillerson  continues to lead the State Department and the entire cabinet is focused on completing this incredibly successful first year of President Trumpâs administration.â
âHeâs here.  Rex  is here â he said.
If  Tillerson  leaves in the next few months   he  would likely be viewed as one of the most underperforming secretaries of State in U.S. history with one of the shortest tenures to boot  say experts on American foreign policy.
âIt will ratify what is emerging as almost a consensus view that  Rex Tillerson  was the worst Secretary of State in modern time â said Paul Musgrave  a political science professor at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst who studies American foreign policy. âI actually think there is a good case to be made  ever.â
If  Tillerson  leaves in the next few weeks   he  will have served for roughly a year  inordinately short for a first-term Secretary of State in the modern era. The last three first-term secretaries of State â Warren Christopher  Colin Powell and Hillary Clinton â all remained in their posts for the entire term.
Aside from his short time in office   Tillerson  has little to show as accomplishments.
answer:

yes
