Seventeen-year old Alec Matthew Cove of Charlotte took the stand and told the court that he was working under the control of Jonathon Good when he and his co-defendants "Cody Lee Bodo", "Alexa Kay Zimmerman", "Thomas Edward Nofsky Jr"., and "Jonathan J. Good" committed multiple crimes in the Michigan area.


In exchange for his testimony, the prosecution dropped 20 of the 31 felony counts that Cove was charged with.

 Alec Matthew Cove testified of a state wide crime spree with the "Good Gang". Saying that, he and other members of the gang committed about 100 robberies in the state of Michigan.
