Jury picked in the trial of Adam Fox and Barry Croft. They are charged with plotting to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer over COVID restrictions.
After questions about guns, politics and COVID-19, a jury was selected Tuesday for the second trial of two men charged with conspiring to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer over their disgust with restrictions early in the pandemic.
"It's not disqualifying to have views one way or the other," he said. "It's disqualifying if the views become more important than what the law or the evidence is." Convicting or acquitting the men can't be influenced by "whether you like Governor Whitmer or dislike Governor Whitmer," the judge told the jury pool. "It's not if you think masking mandates or vaccine mandates or any other response was good or bad policy. It's not a proxy for any of those things."
