Gov. Rick Snyder has announced the reappointments of Kevin Oeffner of Howell, Jon Campbell of Otsego and David Schuringa of Allegan to the Michigan Indigent Defense Commission.
The commission was created as a result of efforts to improve legal representation for low-income criminal defendants.
In 2011, Snyder issued an executive order establishing the initial Indigent Defense Advisory Commission, responsible for recommending improvements to the state’s legal system. The recommendations served as the basis for legislation to address the need as well as called for the 15-member Indigent Defense Commission that the governor signed into law in July 2013.
Appointees will serve four-year terms expiring April 1, 2019.
