Gov. Snyder pre-trial in Flint water crisis begins discovery phase (click here for good dialogue regarding the trial of Snyder )

This reporting of the fact the hearing was on June 15, 2021, only adds confusion to the issue at hand. The media is discussing the pre-trial hearing of Snyder's appearance on JUNE 15, 2021. I have to question whether the people of the city of Flint were provided notice of the appearance of Snyder in court and if not why not. There should be an understanding that all the citizens of Flint should be given notice of any hearings regarding the prosecution of defendants.

The people have a right to know the hearings are taking place and hear the proceedings either televised or on the radio. There isn't enough room in the courtroom for every citizen interested in hearing any proceedings, even minor ones. But, they should be provided a venue to hear the proceedings and quite possibly representatives in the courtroom so there is a presence of those that have survived the mass poisoning.

This is a big deal. It should be treated as such. Every American has an interest in this case. It is the first time a mass poisoning of an American city took place.
