Update - prosecutor, police, judge prosecuted in Detroit for conspiracy to commit perjury
According to a comment on last year's post about the prosecutor, police, and judge who are being prosecuted in Detroit for conspiracy to commit perjury, the Michigan Supreme Court has agreed to hear Aceval's appeal and the prosecution against the officials is going forward:
This is a 6-16-10 update to the 3-24-09 and 2-12-10 posting on your site regarding the Michigan criminal cases of People v Aceval, a drug trial completely tainted by a judge-prosecutor-police perjury conspiracy, and of People v Mary Waterstone, Karen Plants, et al, the prosecution filed 3-25-09 by the Michigan Attorney General’s Office against the involved public officials, the People v Aceval judge [Wayne County, Michigan, Circuit Judge Mary Waterstone], prosecutor [Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office Drug Unit Chief, Karen Plants] and two City of Inkster, Michigan police officers.Lightning strikes, hallaleujah! The Michigan Supreme Court has granted reconsideration of the 9-25-10 3-3 denial of the Application For Leave To Appeal and the case will be fully considered on oral argument within the next 60 days or so.
The high court also denied Judge Waterstone's appeal of the right of the Michigan Attorney General's Office to prosecute her, and the judge, prosecutor and police officers will proceed to preliminary examination in the near future.
Thanks to socially-conscious sites such as yours that kept public scrutiny on the case, and made the prosecution of these public officials, and the continuing fight to set aside the corruptly-obtained conviction that resulted from their actions, so visible!
There are more details at David Moffitt's website, and there is a Michigan State Bar Association Litigation Section Journal article that discusses the case (towards the end of the last article).
