Judge William Crawford of the 67th District Court pondered Tuesday whether a higher court should rule on the proper place to bring charges against former Gov. Rick Snyder for his role in the Flint water crisis.
During a brief virtual hearing, Crawford asked Snyder s attorneys and lawyers working for the Michigan Attorney General s Office to consider whether he was the appropriate judge to decide
the fight over the venue for two misdemeanor charges against the former Republican governor.
Crawford noted that it was Genesee County Circuit Judge David Newblatt who acted as a one-judge grand jury and authorized the charges against Snyder.
Ex-Gov. Snyder, chief of staff ask courts to dismiss charges
Lawyers for two of the biggest names charged in the Flint water crisis investigation, former Gov. Rick Snyder and former Chief of Staff Jarrod Agen, have asked judges this week to dismiss the cases against their clients.
In court filings, attorneys for Snyder and Agen contended that prosecutors brought the criminal cases in the incorrect county. The alleged wrongdoing took place in Ingham County, but the charges were brought in Genesee County, where Flint is located, they said. The remedy for an indictment charging offenses outside the grand jury’s jurisdiction is axiomatic: A trial court must quash an indictment returned by a grand jury that lacked jurisdiction, Snyder s attorneys, Brian Lennon, Charles Ash Jr. and Judith Gracey, wrote in a Monday motion in 67th District Court.
