After being locked up for three weeks, one of the suspects charged with plotting to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is asking a judge to reconsider her decision to keep him behind bars as he’s afraid of contracting the coronavirus, according to a local news report. In court documents filed earlier this week, the lawyer for Kaleb Franks argued that his client, who is a recovering addict, has turned his life around after doing time for cocaine and home invasion. Franks suffers from diabetes and high cholesterol, takes insulin daily and fears contracting COVID-19, per Detroit Free Press.
