The Michigan Court of Appeals denied Kristina Karamo's emergency request to suspend a judge's order removing her as chair of the Michigan Republican Party, adding to the confusion surrounding the party's upcoming convention. Karamo's appeal was swiftly denied, and the court will continue to consider her appeal. The dispute arises from conflicting conventions called by Karamo and Pete Hoekstra, who was recognized as the lawful chair by a Kent County judge and endorsed by the Republican National Committee. The legal battle stems from Karamo's removal due to alleged violations of party bylaws and lackluster performance.
The Michigan Court of Appeals heard arguments in the case against former Grand Rapids police officer Christopher Schurr, who was charged with second-degree murder in the death of Patrick Lyoya.

The trial, originally set to begin next month, has been delayed indefinitely pending the court's decision. Supporters for both Schurr and the Lyoya family gathered outside the courtroom, and a rally is planned for Wednesday night.

The Michigan Court of Appeals has ruled that there is enough evidence for the parents of the Oxford High School shooter to stand trial on involuntary manslaughter charges. The ruling revealed a new timeline of events leading up to the shooting, including text exchanges between Jennifer Crumbley and her son just 10 minutes before he started shooting. The timeline also revealed that both parents were aware of their son's mental health issues and that James Crumbley purchased the gun used in the shooting just four days before the incident.
The Michigan Court of Appeals has affirmed that the parents of the Oxford High School shooter can go to trial on involuntary manslaughter charges. James and Jennifer Crumbley are both facing four counts of involuntary manslaughter after their son opened fire inside Oxford High School in November 2021, killing four students and injuring many others. The prosecution accuses the parents of being grossly negligent toward their son by failing to provide proper care for him when he reported that he was having hallucinations and struggling with his mental health.
The Michigan Court of Appeals has ordered James and Jennifer Crumbley to stand trial for involuntary manslaughter in the deaths of four students killed by their son, Ethan Crumbley, who used a gun his parents bought him as an early Christmas present to carry out the massacre at Oxford High School in November 2021. The appeals court concluded that there was enough evidence to send the case to trial, citing the parents' failure to properly secure the gun and remove their son from school when he made overt threats to hurt other people. Ethan Crumbley pleaded guilty to all charges last year and awaits sentencing.
