Jurors reached a verdict Thursday concerning four activists accused of conspiring to defraud the U.S. government and sow division in the country. Three current members of the Uhuru Movement, African People's Socialist Party Chairman Omali Yeshitela, Penny Hess and Jesse Nevel, were also accused of acting as foreign agents for Russia and failing to register with the U.S. as such. Augustus Romain, founder of Atlanta-based Black Hammer and former member of Uhuru, only faced the conspiracy charge. Jurors found all four defendants guilty of conspiracy. Yeshitela, Hess and Nevel were found not guilty of acting as foreign agents. "The jury rejected the prosecution's notion that we were working for Russians," Yeshitela told 10 Tampa Bay. "Which meant that they agreed with what we said all along, 'we just work for Black people.'" The defense said they plan to appeal the conspiracy convictions. The conviction carries a minimum five-year sentence in jail, but attorneys argued there aren't set sentencing guidelines for the conspiracy charge. No sentencing date has been announced.
