Adam Fox and Barry Croft convicted of conspiracy to kidnap in scheme prosecutors described as rallying cry for US civil war
A jury on Tuesday convicted two men of conspiring to kidnap thein 2020, in a plot prosecutors described as a rallying cry for a US civil war by anti-government extremists.
The investigation began when army veteran Dan Chappel joined a Michigan paramilitary group and became alarmed when he heard talk about killing police. He agreed to become an FBI informant and spent summer 2020 getting close to Fox and others, secretly recording conversations and participating in drills at “shoot houses” in Wisconsin and Michigan.
Defense attorneys tried to put the FBI on trial, repeatedly emphasizing through cross-examination of witnesses and during closing remarks that federal players were present at every crucial event and had entrapped the men.
