This combo of images provided by the Kent County, Mich., Jail. shows Barry Croft Jr., left, and Adam Fox. Jury selection started Tuesday, Aug. 9, 2022, in the second trial of the two men charged with conspiring to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in 2020 over their disgust with restrictions early in the COVID-19 pandemic.

They say FBI agents and informants fed their outrage and pulled them into their web. “Somebody really cool is showing him attention, who wants to be his friend,” Gibbons said of Chappel.
