Whitmer Kidnapping Trial Collapses: Two Not Guilty, Two More Walk Free
A jury acquitted two defendants in the Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping trial on Friday but was unable to come to a verdict on the alleged ringleaders of the plot.
The not guilty verdicts are a serious blow to the FBI, which had been accused by defense attorneys of having “conceived and controlled every aspect” of the kidnapping plot through the more than a dozen confidential informants it embedded into the defendants’ group in the summer of 2020.
The jury announced Friday afternoon that it 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.
Cries of relief were reportedly heard in the courtroom as the jury read Caserta’s verdict.
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.
