A man upset over state-ordered coronavirus restrictions was sentenced to just over six years in prison on Wednesday for planning to kidnap Michigan Gov. He is among six men charged in U.S. federal court but the only one to plead guilty so far. It was a key victory for prosecutors as they try to prove an astonishing plot against the others. Indeed, defence lawyer Gary Springstead told the judge that Garbin "is going to be a star witness" against the others. Whitmer wrote a victim impact statement to the judge, saying, "Things will never be the same."
