2 Men Face New Trial Over Scheme To Kidnap Michigan Governor
Newsy
The first trial of Adam Fox and Barry Croft Jr. ended in a mistrial in April when the jury couldn't reach a unanimous verdict against them.
Two men accused of crafting a plan to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in 2020 and ignite a national rebellion are facing a second trial this week, months after a jury couldn't reach a verdict on the pair while acquitting two others.
The result in April was a blow to federal prosecutors, who had set out to show that extremists were committed to snatching Whitmer and causing chaos close to the election between Joe Biden and then-President Donald Trump.
