The Michigan Supreme Court on Tuesday threw out charges against former Governor Rick Snyder and eight others in connection with the Flint water scandal, ruling that a lower court judge lacked the authority to issue indictments in the case.
The decision is a setback for prosecutors, who spent years building a criminal case against state and city officials after lead contaminated Flint's water system, prompting a national scandal.
Prosecutors decided to employ a rarely used method of obtaining the indictments, presenting evidence in secret before Genesee County Circuit Court Judge David Newblatt in what is known as a "one-man grand jury." A spokesperson for the office of Attorney General Dana Nessel said prosecutors are reviewing the opinion.
