Key takeaways:
- William Null, Michael Null, and Eric Molitor were acquitted of providing support for a terrorist act and a weapon charge.
- Adam Fox and Barry Croft Jr. were convicted of a kidnapping conspiracy last year.
- The jury’s decision brings the case to a close.
On Friday, a jury acquitted three men in the last trial connected to a plan to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. The plan was portrayed as an example of homegrown terrorism on the eve of the 2020 presidential election.
William Null, his twin brother Michael Null, and Eric Molitor were found not guilty of providing support for a terrorist act and a weapon charge. The three men were accused of supporting the leaders of the plan by participating in military-style drills and traveling to see Whitmer’s vacation home in northern Michigan.
The key players in the plan, Adam Fox and Barry Croft Jr., were convicted of a kidnapping conspiracy last year in a different court. They were the last of 14 men to face charges in state or federal court.
The trial of the three men was the last of the cases related to the plan to kidnap Governor Whitmer. The plan was foiled by law enforcement in October 2020. The jury’s decision brings the case to a close.
