GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — A Michigan jury has ended its fourth day of deliberations without having reached verdicts in the trial of four men accused of scheming to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. The jury said Thursday that it wants to look at evidence related to an explosive when it resumes work Friday. Jurors specifically want to look at pennies that, according to the government, were used during the demonstration of an explosive in September 2020. U.S. District Judge Robert Jonker said the jurors can look at that exhibit and any others. Adam Fox, Barry Croft Jr., Daniel Harris and Brandon Caserta are charged with a kidnapping conspiracy. Three of them also face additional charges, including conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction.
