alleged governor kidnappers not guilty.....

They will be tried again.

U.S. Attorney Andrew Birge said the government plans to retry Fox and Croft.

"Obviously, we're disappointed with the outcome. We thought we had enough for the jury to convict based on the evidence we put forward, but we still believe in the jury system," Birge said. "We have two defendants that are awaiting trial and will get back to work on that."


Birge declined to answer questions from media after his initial statement.

Fox and Croft will remain jailed in the Newaygo County Jail pending retrial.

Sounds like double jeopardy. :nono:
 
not guilty
/ˌnät ˈɡiltē/

innocent, especially of a formal charge.

not guilty the verdict of a court that a person is not, in law or in fact, responsible for the crime charged against him.

Still not innocent, only not enough evidence to prove guilt.
 
after 37 hours of deliberation a jury finds two defendants to be innocent and deadlocked on the other two..........judge declares mistrial on the two deadlocked and releases the innocent......

Bu-BU-BU-BUT "WHITE SUPREMACISTS!!!"


IT WAS AN OBVIOUS SETUP/ENTRAPMENT BY THE FBI.
 
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — A jury on Friday acquitted two men of all charges in a plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer but couldn’t reach verdicts against the two alleged leaders, a stunning defeat for the government after a weekslong trial that centered on a remarkable FBI sting operation just before the 2020 election.

Whitmer did not immediately comment on the outcome, though her chief of staff was critical, saying Americans are “living through the normalization of political violence.”

The result was announced on the fifth day of deliberations, a few hours after the jury said it had been struggling to find unanimity on charges in the 10-count indictment. The judge told the panel to keep working, but jurors emerged again after lunch to say they still were deadlocked on some counts.

THEY ARE NOT ABOUT TO RETRY THIS HOAX; THE FBI DOESN'T WANT THE SCRUTINY....
 
The U.S. Attorneys office in Grand Rapids said it will retry the men, and that it is "obviously" disappointed in the outcome of the case.

In a statement released after the verdicts, Whitmer expressed concern that the outcome of the case may encourage future extremists.

"The plot to kidnap and kill a governor may seem like an anomaly. But we must be honest about what it really is: the result of violent, divisive rhetoric that is all too common across our country," Whitmer stated. "There must be accountability and consequences for those who commit heinous crimes. Without accountability, extremists will be emboldened."
