Defendants, who spoke little English, testified that they were told they would have to fill out bank forms if they deposited $10,000 or more in cash at one time, but did not know that these forms would be sent to the federal government. After a three day trial, the jury deliberated less than two hours before finding both defendants not guilty of all charges
