The jury announced Friday afternoon they had ruled unanimously to find Daniel Harris and Brandon Caserta not guilty on charges of conspiring to kidnap the Democratic Michigan governor in 2020. Harris was also acquitted of charges related to explosives and firearms. You can hear cries of relief in the courtroom as Caserta's verdict is read.
As for the plot ringleaders Adam Fox and Barry Croft, no verdict is found and the judge has declared mistrials.Jurors announced they were unable to reach a unanimous decision on the charges against the alleged ringleaders of the plot, Adam Fox and Barry Croft. Judge Robert Jonker declared a mistrial in those cases.
The jury's decision to find two defendants not guilty in the kidnapping conspiracy and their failure to reach a unanimous decision for Fox and Croft is likely to renew questions about whether the defendants were entrapped by undercover FBI informants embedded into their group. Defense attorneys argued during the trial that their clients were high all the time when the plot was allegedly hatched during the summer of 2020 and that they never would never have conspired to kidnap Whitmer in the first place if government informants embedded in the group hadn't pushed them to do so.
