On Thursday, Former Michigan Rep. Larry Inman (R) was acquitted on all counts involving bribery and extortion after a second corruption trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inman, 69, was charged in 2019 for allegedly soliciting a bribe, attempted extortion, and lying to federal investigators,\u00a0according<\/a>\u00a0to the Detroit Free Press.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to The Daily Caller<\/a>, in 2019 a jury originally found Inman not guilty of lying to investigators, however, they could not reach a verdict regarding the remaining counts forcing the trial to go into a second hearing, Detroit Free Press reported. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI think he\u2019s very glad to have this behind him,\u201d Inman’s attorney James Fisher stated. \u201cHe feels vindicated because this has been a very long struggle for him. And he\u2019s never said anything other than that he is not guilty of these charges, and I think the jury believed that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The jury had allegedly debated for 45 minutes before reaching their final verdict on Thursday. According to the outlet, the first jury deliberated for over 10 hours over two days during the first hearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inman served as a\u00a0Michigan\u00a0representative from 2015 to 2020. However, Fisher noted that Inman is unlikely to get back into politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI think it\u2019ll be very hard for him to get back involved in politics after this just because he\u2019s struggled through this whole entire process,\u201d Fisher told the Detroit Press. \u201cI hope the people that he represented see this and look at him in a positive way. I think he is a good man who deserves to be credited for what he did for his constituents.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
