The jurors all agree that there was a violation of the law, just not potentially the law they were charged with. Had the conspiracy part been taken off they would have been found guilty.

More accurately, they said that the intent for conspiracy was never proven. The juror said that intimidation and impediment occurred, but the prosecution never proved the occupation intended to do any of those things. 

As Juror 4 said, he hopes this doesn't encourage future behavior like this and more occupations. The prosecution in the other case would be wise to learn from this prosecution's mistakes.


Also, apparently a juror was dismissed. Somehow they let a juror on that had previously worked for the bureau of land management or something. A few days in, he's telling the others "yea, I'm pretty biased".
