FLINT (AP) - A judge says he plans to read every page of testimony that led to the decision to send Michigan's health director to trial in a criminal case related to Flint's water crisis.
Genesee County Circuit Court Judge Joseph Farah met Wednesday with special prosecutor Todd Flood and lawyers for Nick Lyon. It was the first hearing since a lower court judge ordered Lyon to trial on involuntary manslaughter charges.
Lyon is accused of failing to timely alert the public about a Legionnaires' disease outbreak in 2014-15. His defense team is asking the judge to throw out the case.
Farah says he'll read the 2,800-page transcript generated over many days of hearings in District Court. He says he'll hear arguments on Lyon's motion before the end of the year.
