KALAMAZOO, Mich. — A militia member was convicted Tuesday of plotting to blow up federal properties and threatening to attack and murder government officials.
Randy Graham was also found guilty of growing marijuana to finance the conspiracy. The federal jury acquitted Graham on charges of possessing illegal automatic weapons seized from another militia member’s home.
Graham, 42, faces up to 30 years in prison when he is sentenced May 5.
Assistant U.S. Atty. Lloyd Meyer called the verdict “tremendous” even though jurors rejected three counts of the nine-count indictment. “An armed and dangerous man is no longer walking the streets,” Meyer said.
Defense lawyer Jeffrey O’Hara said no decision about an appeal would be made until after sentencing.
