Michigan Statute of Limitations. The Flint case is one of illegal activity by a Governor that was only discovered after he left office.

“It’s a very big concern,” said Bishop Bernadel Jefferson of Faith Deliverance Center church in Flint.
She said there’s been little communication between the Attorney General’s office and community leaders about progress in the case since prosecutors in Dana Nessel’s office dropped charges last summer and vowed to relaunch the investigation.
