The U.S. Supreme Court is refusing to hear the case of one of the men imprisoned for a plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
Barry Croft was sentenced to nearly 20 years in federal prison in 2022 for conspiracy to kidnap and conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction.
He was accused of being one of the ringleaders in a plot to take Whitmer from her vacation home in 2020 in retaliation for COVID-19 restrictions.
