FLINT, MI -- Flint water prosecutors who dismissed eight pending criminal cases related to the city’s water crisis will discuss that decision in what they are calling a community conversation from 6-8 p.m. June 28.

The Michigan Department of Attorney General announced details of the meeting at UAW Local 659, 4549 Van Slyke Road, in a news release Thursday, June 20.

“This conversation with Solicitor General (Fadwa) Hammoud and Prosecutor (Kym) Worthy will address the dismissals, provide updates on the team’s investigative efforts and answer any questions the residents may have for the Flint water crisis prosecution team,” the news release said.

Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. for the program, which will is being designed to be as informal as possible, spokeswoman Courtney Covington said.

The program will include a brief introduction from prosecutors, Covington said, and residents will have the opportunity to ask questions.

Hammoud and Worthy announced June 13 that they had dismissed eight remaining Flint water prosecutions without prejudice -- meaning they could be refiled -- in order to conduct a full and complete investigation.

That decision resulted in the dismissal of criminal charges against Nick Lyon, former Michigan Department of Health and Human Services director; Eden Wells, former chief medical executive for the state; former emergency managers Gerald Ambrose and Darnell Earley; DHHS officials Nancy Peeler and Robert Scott; Department of Environmental Quality official Patrick Cook; and former Flint Department of Public Works Director Howard Croft.

The announcement came on the eve on a scheduled decision from a Genesee Circuit Court judge on whether to dismiss the charges against Lyon, one of three former defendants whose cases had been bound over for jury trials.

Both Attorney General Dana Nessel, who is not participating in the criminal cases, and Hammoud have each taken issue with the cases built by former special prosecutor Todd Flood, whom Nessel replaced with Hammoud in February.

Hammoud has not spoken to reporters since dismissing the cases and has said she will not until she speaks with residents.

She has said in a written statement that she had “grave concerns about the investigative approach and legal theories embraced by (Flood), particularly regarding the pursuit of evidence."

“After a complete evaluation, our concerns were validated. Contrary to accepted standards of criminal investigation and prosecution, all available evidence was not pursued. Instead, the (Office of Special Counsel) entered into agreements that gave private law firms—representing (DHHS, DEQ), the Department of Treasury, and the Executive Office of former Governor Rick Snyder—a role in deciding what information would be turned over to law enforcement," the statement said.

Current prosecutors initially filed for delays in the prosecutions after the discovery of what they have said were millions of documents related to the water crisis that they contend were not properly reviewed.

Earlier this month, prosecutors announced that they had sought the cell phones of Snyder and others in his administration through a search warrant.

The former governor has since said he “intentionally and voluntarily” left his phone with the attorney general’s office when he left office.
