The key ringleaders, Adam Fox and Barry Croft Jr., were convicted of a kidnapping conspiracy in federal court last year.
William Null claimed he and his brother abandoned the larger plot when people started talking about getting explosives. Michael Null didn’t testify at all. Molitor said Fox was too “dumb” to pull off an effective kidnapping. That’s probably true, but intelligence is not a prerequisite for criminal intent.
The twins and Molitor were the last of 14 men to face charges related to the kidnapping plot in state or federal court. Nine were convicted and five have been cleared. The Nulls and Molitors might have avoided prison but that doesn’t make them admirable men.
Who would proudly go accept accolades, when 9 of your group was convicted? I would feel shame and hope everyone forgets I was dumb and hateful enough to consider doing this crime.
