Скачать или смотреть Flint Water Crisis Charges DROPPED Against Ex-Gov. Rick Snyder | Roland Martin

A Michigan judge dismisses criminal charges against former Governor Rick Snyder in the Flint water crisis.

This dismissal comes months after the state Supreme Court said indictments returned by a one-person grand jury were invalid. Snyder is the eighth person to have a Flint water case thrown out after the Supreme Court's unanimous June opinion. Snyder, a Republican who left office in 2019, was charged with two misdemeanor counts of misconduct in office. He was the first person in state history to be charged for alleged crimes related to service as governor.

Flint's water became tainted after city officials agreed to switch to using the Flint River in 2014 to save money while a new pipeline to Lake Huron was built. The water did not get treated to reduce corrosive qualities, causing lead to break off from old pipes, contaminating the system for more than a year.
