2 men guilty of conspiring to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer
Loading Wait Please...
A jury on Tuesday convicted two men of conspiring to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in 2020, in a plot prosecutors described as a rallying cry for a U.S. civil war by anti-government extremists.The jury also found Adam Fox and Barry Croft Jr. guilty of conspiring to obtain a weapon of mass destruction, namely a bomb to blow up a bridge and stymie police if the kidnapping could be pulled off at Whitmer’s vacation home.Croft, 46, a trucker from Bear, Delaware, was also convicted of another explosives charge.It was the second trial for the pair after a jury in April couldn’t reach a unanimous verdict. Two other men were acquitted and two more pleaded guilty and testified for prosecutors.The result was a victory for the government following the shocking mixed outcome last spring.“You can’t just strap on an AR-15 and body armor and go snatch the governor,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Nils Kessler told jurors.“But that wasn’t the defendants’ ultimate goal,” Kessler said.
