DETROIT — A juror seated on the recent trial of two men convicted of attempting to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer denied having said the men would “hang,” according to a transcript of a meeting the juror had with U.S. District Court Judge Robert Jonker, who likened the encounter with the judge to that of getting “called to the principal’s office.”
A coworker had alerted a defense attorney that the juror allegedly was biased. The coworker claimed the juror had said the men on trial, Adam Fox of Potterville and Barry Croft Jr. of Delaware, would receive a guilty verdict and “hang” should the juror be seated.
