Prosecutors asked a judge for a six-month timeout in the criminal case against Michigan's former health director after finding a 'trove of documents' related to the Flint water crisis.
Prosecutors on Friday asked a judge for a six-month timeout in the criminal case against Michigan's former health director after finding a"trove of documents" related to the Flint water crisis in the basement of a state building.
It's unclear what connection, if any, the boxes have to former health chief Nick Lyon, who is charged with involuntary manslaughter in an outbreak of Legionnaires' disease. He's accused of failing to timely warn the public about the disease while Flint was using water from the Flint River in 2014-15 . The water wasn't properly treated, which caused lead to leach from old pipes, among other problems.
Prosecutors didn't suddenly stumble upon the documents and computer hard drives. They said they were informed in February by Peter Manning, a division chief in the attorney general's office, that the boxes"were languishing in the basement of a state-owned building."
