They acquitted Brown's two co-defendants of charges they conspired with her to cover up fraud at the four charter schools she founded.
Acquitted were Michael Slade (pictured) and Courteney Knight. The jury continues deliberating the fate of their co-defendant, Dorothy June Brown.
The School Reform Commission last night failed to renew the charters of two schools founded by a woman who is on trial on fraud charges.
