LANSING, MI — Indictments against former top state officials in Michigan, including former governor Rick Snyder, for their alleged guilt in the Flint water crisis are being deemed invalid.
A panel of Michigan Supreme Court judges in Lansing on Tuesday said prosecutors made a procedural error when issuing indictments for the nine former state officials last year. Michigan laws don’t allow a judge to bring indictments as a one-man grand jury without an examination beforehand, which wasn’t done.
