BARAGA, MI-- Both sides have rested in the Bernard Fish armed robbery trial in Baraga.
Fish is charged with impersonating a federal agent and two counts each of armed robbery, extortion, and unlawful imprisonment in the August, 2013 incident in Watton.
Fish claimed the whole thing was a setup between him and alleged victim Jim Jackson to get money and marijuana from Jackson’s father. He said codefendant Donovan Waupoose wasn’t aware of the plan.
The prosecution rested its case around noon Thursday. Both sides are expected to present closing arguments Friday.
