Since state Rep. Bob Genetski was arrested about eight months ago on MSU’s campus, he has been living with the after-effects of fighting operating while intoxicated charges — he hired an East Lansing lawyer who requested about 300 pages of lab reports to evaluate, he underwent a two-day jury trial in which nearly every detail of his blood alcohol content test was scrutinized and he has been restricted to driving only to and from work and court appointments.
