Juror bribe attempt

The backstory:

Last year, as the first Feeding Our Future trial was underway, prosecutors said a woman, later identified as Ladan Ali, showed up at a juror's home with a bag filled with $120,000 in cash.

The woman indicted that the money was for an acquittal in the trial. The juror, who wasn't home at the time the money was dropped off, called police after the incident.

Authorities ultimately arrested five people, including three defendants who were on trial. When prosecutors announced the uncovered bribery attempt in court, authorities say Farah factory reset his iPhone after being ordered to surrender it by the judge.

At trial, Farah was convicted on 23 of 24 counts.

What's next:

Farah entered his guilty plea in the bribery case last week. He will be sentenced in the bribery case at a later date.
