There's no dispute about some of the evidence in the trial of two men accused of wanting to kidnap Michigan’s governor
This combo of images provided by the Kent County, Mich., Jail. shows Barry Croft Jr., left, and Adam Fox. Jury selection started Tuesday, Aug. 9, 2022, in the second trial of the two men charged with conspiring to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in 2020 over their disgust with restrictions early in the COVID-19 pandemic. Prosecutors are putting Adam Fox and Barry Croft Jr. on trial again after a jury in April couldn't reach a verdict.
It has been cited by defense lawyers to reinforce their depiction of Fox and Croft as “big talkers” who sometimes said outrageous things when they had been smoking pot. Marijuana use by adults has been legal in Michigan since 2018.Monday, when defense lawyers will likely talk about it again. The Delaware trucker's girlfriend confirmed Croft's regular marijuana use during her brief appearance in the witness chair. An investigator was asked Friday to read aloud a text message he had sent to an informant who was inside the group of extremists.Prosecutors have presented evidence of Fox saying he wanted to “hog-tie” Whitmer and even take her out to Lake Michigan in a boat. Croft wrote on social media about hanging governors for treason.
“You're in an altered state. When you say things, you don't really mean it,” said Scharg, who's not involved in the trial. “I don't think it's a really strong defense, but sometimes you're looking for a juror as a holdout, something to rest their position on. Throw it out. Maybe the fish will bite.”. Two other men were acquitted, while two more pleaded guilty and testified for the government.
