Flint water crisis prosecutions come to a close without convictions

The Attorney General's office in Michigan has officially ended its pursuit of criminal prosecutions related to the Flint water crisis, after seven years without any convictions. This decision comes after the Michigan Supreme Court rejected an attempt to revive charges against former Governor Rick Snyder. The prosecution team, led by Chief Deputy Attorney General Fadwa Hammoud and Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy, stated that the Flint water cases are now "closed." The Supreme Court's decisions were based on procedural flaws rather than the merits of the prosecution. A full report on the prosecutorial efforts will be released in 2024.
