Defense attorneys for men accused in Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping plot seek to dismiss indictment

In the 20-page motion, which was filed Saturday night, defense attorneys allege FBI agents and federal prosecutors invented a conspiracy and entrapped people who could face up to life in prison. They’re asking U.S. District Judge Robert Jonker to dismiss the conspiracy charge, which would effectively knock down the federal government’s case and other connected charges, according to The Detroit News.

“Essentially, the evidence here demonstrates egregious overreaching by the government’s agents, and by the informants those agents handled,” defense attorneys wrote. “When the government was faced with evidence showing that the defendants had no interest in a kidnapping plot, it refused to accept failure and continued to push its plan.”

Criminals…trial for all of them

I heard the GOVERNMENT set it all up. A SET UP.

BS 🤬🤬🤬

Nice if you to make the defense’s case in public for them. Funny how we never see this for a Black person accused of a street crime in Chicago, though. What could possibly be different here?

They’re all federal agents, they canmake this go away in two shakes of a lamb’s tale.

Won't work. Next?

There is NO defense that doesn’t want their client’s charges dismissed. If there was, THAT would be a story
