Caserta and Harris are now walking free. The two other men on trial, Barry Croft and Adam Fox, were also not convicted of conspiracy charges, but many believe they will be retried since it was only a partial verdict.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>During the trial, Assistant U.S. Attorney Nils Kessler argued, <\/span><span>\u201cIn America, there\u2019s a lot of things you can do. You can criticize the government publicly, absolutely. If you don\u2019t like the government\u2019s policies, you can protest them. If you don\u2019t like elected leaders, you can vote them out at the ballot box. What you can\u2019t do is kidnap them, kill them, or blow them up.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>However, the jury was unable to unanimously come to the conclusion that these four men wanted to commit any of those crimes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The acquitted defendants and their families celebrated the jury\u2019s verdict on Friday which came on Caserta\u2019s birthday. \u201cBest birthday ever,\u201d he said. The Daily Wire also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/two-defendants-celebrate-acquittal-in-whitmer-kidnapping-trial-best-birthday-gift-ever\">reported<\/a> that Harris\u2019 father said after the verdict, \u201cWe are so elated! Unbelievable amount of people praying through this whole ordeal. God is so good!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Joy Reid pinning her displeasure with the outcome of the trial on the defendants\u2019 race shouldn\u2019t be too surprising. Reid makes a habit of focusing on race to explain political motivations. Last month, The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/lets-face-it-joy-reid-claims-americans-only-care-about-ukraine-because-theyre-white-and-christian\">reported<\/a> that Reid concluded that Americans only cared about the plight of the Ukrainian people as Russia invaded their country and bombed their cities because they are \u201cwhite and Christian.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cLet\u2019s face it, the world is paying attention because this is happening in Europe. If this was happening anywhere else would we see the same outpouring of support and compassion?\u201d Reid said on her show. \u201cWe don\u2019t need to ask ourselves if the international response would be the same if Russia unleashed their horror on a country that wasn\u2019t White and largely Christian, because Russia has already done it in Syria.\u201d<\/span><span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Joy Reid makes everything about race again\u2026Claims people are more compassionate towards Ukraine because it\u2019s \u2018White And Christian\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6y7Tsrtx4B\">pic.twitter.com\/6y7Tsrtx4B<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DailyCaller\/status\/1501176689514135562?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 8, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
