BRASILIA, Brazil (AP) — 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 defense team for an appeal after a final verdict.

Justice Luiz Fux disagreed with his two peers who voted on Tuesday and said there's not enough evidence to convict Bolsonaro in any of the five charges against him. Fux took more than 13 hours to finish explaining his vote before the five-member Supreme Court panel, which included several upset looks from other members of the court, but no interventions.
