A federal jury on Friday found two men suspected of conspiring to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer not guilty, with the jury deadlocked on charges against the other two defendants.

The decision culminates a weeks-long trial that began on March 9 over whether Adam Fox, Brandon Caserta, Barry Croft Jr. and Daniel Harris conspired to kidnap the governor, and in the process, use a weapon of mass destruction. The jury found both Harris and Caserta not guilty on all charges but could not deliver a verdict for Croft and Harris.
