Judge acquits Bolsonaro

Published on: 

A Brazilian Supreme Court justice voted Wednesday to acquit former president Jair Bolsonaro of all charges in his alleged coup trial, in the first dissenting vote since the final judicial proceeding began, giving some respite to the far-right leader and potential arguments to his defence team for an appeal after a final verdict.  The 70-year-old ex-leader faces a five-member panel of justices.
