The Michigan Supreme Court denied Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel’s application to review the overturning of the conviction of ex-MSU gymnastics coach Kathie Klages.
“The Court’s decision leaves in place dangerous precedent for prosecutions,” Nessel said in the statement. “In my view, the jury rightly convicted Klages of making false statements that were material to the investigation conducted by my department’s special agents. Absent review by the Michigan Supreme Court, the damaging ruling from the Court of Appeals has the potential to affect all future police investigations.”
