One of 12 jurors believed the government tricked two Maryland doctors into passing private medical records to an agent posing as a Russian official, and that they shouldn’t be found guilty as a result.
The husband and wife from Maryland were charged with conspiring to aid Russia in its war against Ukraine by trying to give it medical records they thought Moscow could exploit. They could still be retried.
After more than 13 hours of deliberations, jurors could not unanimously agree on the guilt or innocence of two doctors accused of providing their patients' private medical information to Russia.
