Flint justice is long awaited and elusive after thousands of the citys residents were poisoned with lead tainted tap water some dying in others with long long illnesses but government officials accused of knowing about the danger but say nothing have paid little for their mistake key to the criminal case is the decision of government workers to begin piping water from the flint river into peoples homes it was cheaper than the old water source but due to insufficient Water Treatment at least led into the Drinking Water prosecutors argue that certain officials should have known better if this is a plan if you and he. Was but weve got. A hall says his one year old nephew died from the poisoned water that his mother unknowingly put into the babys bottle and it was. Other children showed it. Well of mental delays linked to lead poisoning on friday a new team of prosecutors called a Community Meeting to explain why they dismissed charges against 8 government officials citing the shoddy investigation conducted by the Previous Administration needs to be done properly we know that there are many deaths out there that have yet to be investigated. And that it is our obligation when we send to this position. To represent the people is the ability. To investigate those deaths frankly the incoming prosecutors say theyll likely file new charges possibly more serious ones than those dismissed the time is running out only 9 months remain before the statute of limitation kicks in they could wrap it up in 3 years and you know let up in the next. All of ours the government is asking the community to trust them that justice delayed is and justice denied but for the people whove suffered and waited this is yet another drop of poison theyre asked to swallow heidi joe castro aljazeera flint michigan right now we can talk to Melissa Mayes is joining us from flint michigan and melissa youve been really active in the campaign havent you 1st of all you must be extremely disappointed to see that these charges have been dropped. I am disgusted i mean we had 2 people going to trial moving forward for manslaughter 2 government officials Going Forward and to have the rug pulled out from underneath us and that these new prosecutors decided to come in and start over were running out of time and people are running out of hope because nobody at this time is being charged and theres no hope we got no promised is no information last night that would even encourage us that new charges are out to be filed they havent got any confidence and in the suggestion from the new administration that theyre going to look for new charges and start a new case not at all i mean theyve had the evidence in front of them it to phones everything none of thats new its been already in discovery it just seems like they got behind on their work and couldnt catch up and then stop themselves in the foot by firing the entire team that had spent 3 years and plans talking to the residents finding the evidence and actually getting these charges and hes indictments to move forward toward a judge that yes its ok to move forward to trial you guys are ready you have this evidence now theyre saying theres not enough evidence from these prosecutors and they just dropped everything without talking to us and we werent even allowed to even ask questions for 15 days right and the real problem seems to be that the clock is ticking and that youve got a 9 month window in which for any new cases to be logged. Yes and we saw it took 3 years to get to this part to get to this you know this this time to get you know to manslaughter trials to move forward and so i dont know how they going to do it 9 months and all they kept saying was big things last night wanting us to trust them but yet they dont trust us they didnt tell us about these decisions we heard about them through the news and through press releases and then last night they were rude to people like me when i wasnt let mother who asked questions solicitor general was extremely rude to me and they shut people down in silence just didnt want to listen to her question so actually nothing has changed its the same state of michigan doing the same cover up in the same silencing of the victims rights so that for 5 years hes been through all of this and the kind of treatment that youre describing from from last night how would you describe your level of faith and confidence in your government.
