Free Press staff writer David Ashenfelter is blogging from the U.S. Courthouse in Detroit this morning for the federal criminal trial involving seven members of the Hutaree, a Lenawee County militia group accused of plotting the overthrow of the U.S. government. The six men and one woman are charged with seditious conspiracy, attempting to use weapons of mass destruction bombs and possession of a firearm in relation to a crime of violence. They face a maximum penalty of life in prison if convicted.
