A Florida jury found a Chinese woman not guilty of trespassing on President Trump's Mar-a-Lago property after she was charged there in December, but the panel on Wednesday convicted her of resisting an officer during the incident.
The trial of Lu Jing, the Chinese national who was accused of trespassing on the Palm Beach resort late last year, began Tuesday in West Palm Beach and ended on Wednesday when jurors rendered their verdict following an hour and a half of deliberation. Sentencing for Lu is scheduled for Friday morning, according to the Office of the State Attorney of the 15th Judicial Circuit. She faces up to a year of imprisonment and a $1,000 fine. CNN has reached out to Lu's attorney for comment.
