A Michigan federal judge sentenced a man convicted of plotting to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to nearly 20 years in prison Wednesday.

Barry Croft Jr. was part of a plan to kidnap the Democratic governor from her summer home in 2020 and practiced detonating explosives in preparation, prosecutors have said.

Croft, who was sentenced to 235 months in federal prison, the longest sentence of the people convicted, is the last of the defendants in federal court to be sentenced in connection to the plot. Prosecutors had asked the judge to sentence Croft to life in prison.

Explaining his sentencing decision, Judge Robert Jonker said, Im not somebody whos willing ever to give up on somebody. And thats why I think, in particular, life sentences are very unusual.

Because, by definition, youre not giving people a chance to come back into the fold, he said.

But Jonker also agreed with prosecutors that Croft was a leader to others involved in the plot, and noted his previous criminal history when handing down the sentence.

Good.

What is this shit.

By definition a life sentence has a non-parole period unless you, the judge, decide to make it not so.

my local hometown J6er finally got his trial date set, and of course he drew a Trump-appointee judge who has a history of leniency on J6ers. Im pissed
