A group of families has won a key court victory in an effort to pin some responsibility on a Michigan school district for a shooting that left four students dead in 2021. A judge says the families can pursue claims that the Oxford district may have pushed Ethan Crumbley “closer to violent action” when officials threatened to report his parents to child-welfare authorities.

The state of Michigan asked a judge Wednesday to release a man who has served nearly 21 years of a life sentence for the fatal shootings of two hunters, saying critical evidence about an Ohio serial killer’s possible role was never shared before trial.

Three men have been convicted of supporting a plot to kidnap Michigan's governor. It's a victory for state prosecutors after months of mixed results in the main case in federal court. Joe Morrison, Pete Musico and Paul Bellar were found guilty Wednesday of providing "material support" for a terrorist act as members of a paramilitary group, the Wolverine Watchmen.

A scheme to kidnap Michigan's governor in 2020 will get yet another airing in court.

The Michigan Supreme Court won’t reinstate the conviction of a former Michigan State University gymnastics coach who was accused of lying to investigators about campus sports doctor Larry Nassar.
