BREAKING: Man sentenced to 16 years in prison for role in plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Whitmer.
U.S. District Judge Robert Jonker questioned whether Fox was a true"natural leader" of the plot, worthy of a life sentence.
"I don't think life is needed to achieve the important public deterrent factors," Jonker said, explaining the 192-month sentence. Assistant U.S. Attorney Nils Kessler had said Fox was out to spark an all-out war and needed to be put away for life. “They wanted a second Civil War or a revolution,” Kessler told the court on Tuesday."They wanted to ruin everything for everybody."
The plot was hatched in response to Whitmer's actions during the start of the pandemic in 2020 when she ordered various lockdowns aimed at curbing the spread of Covid.
