Judge Denies Motion for New Trial in Michigan "Whitmer Fednapping" Plot Case

Back in September of 2022 the Defense in USA vs Fox, et al - the retrial of Adam Fox and Barry Croft - filed a Motion requesting a new trial due to numerous issues in the case. There were allegations of bias with a juror as well as numerous instances of what appeared to be obvious misconduct and bias by Judge Robert Jonker. Judge Jonker referred to the defense entrapment argument as “crap,” in front of the jury. The judge also limited the defense cross examination to 25 minutes, while allowing the prosecution to have unlimited time.

On November 25, 2022 Judge Robert Jonker DENIED that motion for a new trial.

It is my sincere hope the Defense lawyers appeal the convictions of Adam Fox and Barry Croft and take that appeal as far as it needs to go to reverse a miscarriage of justice.
