Court throws out conviction of man accused of secondary role in Gov. Whitmer kidnap plot

A Michigan appeals court threw out Joe Morrison’s conviction in the 2020 plot to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, ruling the terrorism statute didn’t apply on technical grounds.
State Attorney General Dana Nessel blasted the decision and says she will appeal to the Michigan Supreme Court.
The case stems from a paramilitary plot broken up in 2020—some suspects were convicted, others acquitted, and Whitmer was never harmed.
