DETROIT — The Michigan Court of Appeals on Wednesday batted down a request from Attorney General Dana Nessel's office seeking to reinstate charges against a former state health department director in the Flint water crisis prosecution.
Nessel's office had appealed the dismissal of charges against former Department of Health and Human Services Director Nick Lyon, arguing that a Genesee County Circuit Court judge who dismissed his case had misinterpreted an order from the Michigan Supreme Court.
But the three-judge panel was not convinced.
