FLINT, Mich. (CN) Pretrial hearings in the criminal case against former Michigan Governor Rick Snyder over his role in the Flint water contamination crisis continued Tuesday after a week of review by a district court judge who was not certain of his authority in the sprawling scandal.
Last week, Genesee County District Court Judge William Crawford was open about his lack of experience for this type of case and admitted he was not sure he could rule on a motion to dismiss filed by the defense. But he said he reviewed the motions and responses and was now convinced that he could move forward.

Inside Track: Immigration experience attracts Yoo to law

Sungjin Yoo learned early on in life that the devil is in the details a fact that makes him passionate today about creating legal contracts that minimize risks and errors.
The second of four children and a native of Seoul, South Korea, Yoo grew up looking to the example of his father, who was the second of seven children born to a poor farmer in a small village in post-war South Korea.
A law firm representing former Gov. Rick Snyder says new state rules restricting how much they can be paid to defend him against misdemeanor criminal charges related to the Flint water crisis are unfair and “entirely unrealistic for anything other than routine white-collar criminal matters or investigations.”

LANSING, MI - Laura Cox is back on the ballot in the race for Michigan Republican Party chair, entering the fray days before Saturday’s election.
The current party chair went in swinging at Ron Weiser, a two-time former party chair who was previously considered the presumptive incoming co-chair alongside 11th District GOP Chair Meshawn Maddock. Cox sent an email to activists alleging that Weiser in 2018 made a “secret deal” involving a $200,000 payment to convince a political candidate to bow out of a race.
