A Brazilian Supreme Court judge, Justice Luiz Fux, voted on Sept. 10 to find former President Jair Bolsonaro not guilty of all charges in his trial for allegedly plotting a coup.

The announcement about Fux’s decision came after two judges of the five-member Supreme Court panel—Justices Alexandre de Moraes and Flávio Dino—voted for conviction on all five counts on Sept. 9.
