DETROIT (AP) - The Michigan appeals court threw out a man’s conspiracy, theft and drug convictions and a six-year prison sentence after finding “true misconduct” by a prosecutor in a small county.
The court was amazed that Scott Koerner didn’t disclose that he had represented a co-defendant in the same crime before becoming an assistant prosecutor in Shiawassee County. He’s now the elected prosecutor.
