The four men all faced one charge of a kidnapping conspiracy, with Fox, Croft and Harris also facing charges related to explosives and a firearm. Kidnapping conspiracy and conspiracy to use explosives carry potential life sentences, per AP. Federal prosecutors argued, however, that the men planned to capture Whitmer before the FBI operation began.
