2 men convicted in Gov. Whitmer kidnap plot seek new trial

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Lawyers for two men convicted of conspiring to kidnap Michigan’s governor are asking for a new trial, alleging misconduct by a juror and unfairness by the judge. The court filing, unsealed Thursday, reveals an aggressive effort to learn more about a juror, even sending a private investigator to the juror’s workplace on Aug. 23, the same day that Adam Fox and Barry Croft Jr. were found guilty. Separately, defense lawyers said the judge violated the rights of Fox and Croft by imposing a time limit on the cross-examination of a star government witness. “Here, throughout the trial, the court showed hostility toward defense counsel,” Joshua Blanchard and Christopher Gibbons wrote.
