Court affirms convictions of 2 key people in plot to kidnap Michigan’s governor
DETROIT (AP) — An appeals court on Tuesday affirmed the convictions of two men who were accused of leading a plot to kidnap Michigan’s governor in 2020 and start a civil war.
Lawyers for Adam Fox and Barry Croft Jr. had argued that their right to pursue a vigorous entrapment defense was greatly diminished by the rulings of a trial judge in western Michigan, among other claims.
The court, however, said any errors by the judge were harmless.
“The jury saw and heard a host of video and audio recordings of defendants promising violence, planning and participating in trainings, bringing their own weapons and material, and plotting the abduction without reluctance,” the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said in a 3-0 opinion.
