Jurors in the federal trial of four men accused of plotting to kidnap Governor Whitmer were dismissed Monday after a day of deliberations.

They will return today to continue to decide if Adam Fox, Barry Croft Jr., Daniel Harris and Brandon Caserta are guilty of conspiracy- 0 which carries a penalty of up to life in prison.

Early on Monday, they asked the judge about the definition of the word “weapon”.  Jurors were told they can convict the men if they find there was a “mutual understanding” to abduct the governor, even if the goal wasn’t met.

Defense lawyers argue that the group was improperly influenced by an informant who was taking direction from the FBI.
