DETROIT — Federal prosecutors said Wednesday they want to shave three years off the prison sentence of a man convicted of plotting to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer because he helped secure the convictions of co-conspirators.
The request to reduce the sentence of Hartland Township resident Ty Garbin comes one day after jurors convicted kidnap plot ringleaders Adam Fox and Barry Croft, who face potential sentences of life in prison when sentenced in December.
Garbin, 26, testified against them twice and cooperated with grand jury investigations and is expected to testify during ongoing criminal cases against eight others facing charges in state courts.
