FLINT, MI -- Michigans chief medical executive was bound over to circuit court on charges including involuntary manslaughter, obstruction of justice and lying to a peace officer, a Genesee District Court judge ruled Friday, Dec. 7.
Judge William Crawford made the decision to bind over Dr. Eden Wells for trial in Genesee Circuit Court, saying special prosecutors showed there was probable cause to believe a homicide occurred during the Flint water crisis and that she committed it.
It is not this courts duty to determine guilt or innocence, Crawford said.
Crawford said questions about Wells responsibilities during the water crisis must be determined by a jury.

Now I'm betting he will end up with a cushy job with the Nestle Corporation.
