A jury acquitted former Tallahassee mayor Andrew Gillum of lying to the FBI Thursday afternoon. Jurors were deadlocked on all the other charges against him and co-defendant Sharon Lettman-Hicks.

As an official read the verdict on the first of the 19 counts the pair face, tears welled in the politician’s eyes. Lettman-Hicks, supporters and loved ones of the pair embraced and cried.

The court declared a mistrial for the other 18 counts, which include charges of wire fraud and conspiracy.

Later, Gillum stood beside his wife outside the courthouse, squinting in the afternoon sun. She caressed the side of his head as he addressed the jury’s decision.
