Three men have been found guilty of aiding a plot to kidnap after a governor imposed restrictions during Covid.
A Michigan jury on Wednesday, after two weeks of testimony in Jackson County Circuit Court, found Joseph Morrison, 28, his father-in-law Pete Musico, 44, and Paul Bellar, 23, guilty of gang membership, firearm violations and providing material support for terrorism.
It was a plot that prosecutors said grew out of hostility over restrictions Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer imposed in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.
