Prosecutors recommend a life prison sentence for a co-leader of the conspiracy to kidnap Michigan's governor, reminding a judge that social media posts and secretly recorded conversations revealed a chilling desire to spark a 'reign of terror' in 2020.
"The abduction of the governor was only meant to be the beginning of Croft's reign of terror," Kessler said."He called for riots, 'torching' government officials in their sleep and setting off a 'domino' effect of violence across the country."
At one point, Croft told allies:"I don't like seeing anybody get killed either. But you don't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs, you know what I mean?"
