Trial scheduled for Jackson County men accused in Whitmer kidnapping plot
JACKSON COUNTY, MI -- A date has been officially set for three Jackson-area men to stand trial for their alleged involvement in a plot to kidnap Michigan’s governor. A jury trial for Joseph Morrison, Pete Musico and Paul Bellar is scheduled to begin on Monday, Sept. 12, according to court records. Jackson County Circuit Judge Thomas Wilson previously predicted the trial could last at least two weeks. The pair are charged with one felony count each of gang membership, providing material support for terrorist acts and felony firearms. The three last appeared in court for an entrapment hearing, which Wilson ultimately denied on March 1.
