Feeding Our Future juror bribe

The backstory:

Abdiaziz Shafii Farah of Savage, Abdimajid Mohamed Nur of Shakopee, Said Shafii Farah of Minneapolis, Abdulkarim Farah, and Ladan Mohamed Ali of Seattle, Washington were accused of conspiring to bribe one of the jurors to return a not guilty verdict in the trial.

Said Farah, Abdiaziz Farah, and Abimajid Nur were all defendants in the Feeding Our Future trial. Abdiaziz Farah was convicted on 23 counts in the trial. Nur was convicted on ten separate counts. However, Said Farah was acquitted by the jury on all nine counts he faced.

In early June 2024, a Feeding Our Future trial juror reported that a person had come to her home and left a bag of cash totaling $120,000 that was meant in exchange for the juror to vote to acquit. That juror called the police to report the bribe and was later dismissed from the jury while the rest of the jury was sequestered.
