GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) A federal judge has denied a new trial request by two men convicted of conspiring to kidnap Michigans Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
Lawyers for Adam Fox and Barry Croft Jr. alleged misconduct by a juror and unfairness by U.S. District Judge Robert Jonker following their conviction by a federal jury in August.
Jonker in a written ruling Friday shot down claims of juror misconduct and said he found no constitutional violation and no credible evidence to convene a new hearing.
Fox and Croft face up to life in prison when theyre sentenced Dec. 28.
