MIAMI -- The judge in the trial of the so-called "Liberty City Seven" has declared a mistrial for six of the seven defendants.

Lyglenson Lemorin was the only defendant the jury could reach a verdict on, finding him not guilty on all four terror conspiracy counts.

The resolution came Thursday in the ninth day of deliberations.

Twice the jury had sent notes saying they were unable to decide the fate of the seven men who were accused of plotting to blow up the Sears Tower in Chicago and bomb FBI buildings in Miami and elsewhere, Local 10's Rad Berky reported.

Judge Joan Lenard on Monday read the jury what is called the "Allen Charge," urging the members to think about their arguments.

She told them if they were unable to reach a verdict, "The case will be left open and may have to be tried again." The mistrial came after their third note.

"It was a very complicated and long case," said Jeffrey Agnon, a lawyer in private practice, and the jury's foreman.

On Thursday, Lenard set the date of Jan. 7 for selection of a jury for a new trial for the remaining six.

"Everyone has their own take on the evidence presented and when you have so much evidence in a case, there were different takes that different people had on what was presented," said Agnon.

The seven men charged were all allegedly caught on FBI surveillance video pledging support to al-Qaida, but the man leading the pledge was an FBI informant. The defense claims the men were just hoping to get money from the informant and had no intention of going ahead with the alleged plot.

Lenard ordered Lemorin freed.
