Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette indicted six state employees for their alleged connection to the dangerous levels of lead in the city of Flint’s drinking water. “They had knowledge and ability to stop the problem, but they failed,” Schuette said.

The charges were authorized by Judge Nathaniel C. Perry II early Friday against three employees, each from the state’s health and environmental departments.

At a Friday press conference, Schuette and Todd Flood, the private lawyer leading the attorney general’s investigation, said that there will be justice for families in Flint.

“In Michigan the system is not rigged,” Schuette told reporters. “There’s one system of justice – it applies to everyone equal, no matter who you are.”

The six individuals are being charged with misconduct in office, conspiracy and willful neglect of duty for manipulating reports that would have otherwise indicated that water in Flint was not safe to drink. Adam Rosenthal, one of the six, is also facing felony charges of tampering with evidence.
Misconduct in office and conspiracy are felony charges that carry a five-year sentence, and willful neglect of duty is a one-year misdemeanor.

Flood said that the injustice perpetrated by the government employees is particularly unsettling to him.

“I have been involved in thousands of cases,” the attorney said. “There isn’t a case that has jarred my soul like this one. Every time you turn the page you say, ‘you can’t make this up.’”
