Pete Musico was the first man to be sentenced in Jackson County. He will be followed by son-in-law Joe Morrison and Paul Bellar.
By JOEY CAPPELLETTI and ED WHITE, Associated Press JACKSON, Mich. — One of three men who forged an early alliance with the leader of a plot to kidnap Michigan’s governor was sentenced Thursday to 10 years in prison for assisting him before the FBI disbanded the scheme in 2020.
Joe Morrison's sentencing came shortly after Morrison’s father-in-law Pete Musico was given a 12-year prison sentence. Defendant Paul Bellar is also awaiting sentencing. They were convicted in October of providing material support for a terrorist act, which carries a maximum term of 20 years. Morrison, Musico and Bellar were members of a paramilitary group known as the Wolverine Watchmen. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer was never physically harmed by the plot.
The trial in state court was separate from a prosecution in federal court where two leaders, Adam Fox and Barry Croft Jr., were convicted of a kidnapping conspiracy. Two more men pleaded guilty and two others were acquitted.Listen now and subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Google Podcasts | Spotify | RSS Feed | Omny Studio White reported from Detroit.
