Joe Morrison, his father-in-law Pete Musico, and Paul Bellar were found guilty of providing 'material support' for a terrorist act as members of a paramilitary group, the Wolverine Watchmen.
Three men accused of supporting a plot to kidnap Michigan's governor were convicted of all charges Wednesday, a triumph for state prosecutors after months of mixed results in the main case in federal court.
Jurors read and heard violent, anti-government screeds as well as support for the "boogaloo," a civil war that might be triggered by a shocking abduction. Prosecutors said COVID-19 restrictions ordered by Whitmer turned out to be fruit to recruit more people to the Watchmen. The verdicts "are further proof that violence and threats have no place in our politics," said Whitmer, who has not participated as a trial witness or spectator in the state or federal cases. "Those who seek to sow discord by pursuing violent plots will be held accountable under the law."
"In this country you are allowed to talk the talk, but you only get convicted if you walk the walk," Musico's attorney, Kareem Johnson, said in his closing remarks.
