Kyle Fawaz, 31, of Howell, was bound over on Tuesday, November 3, to stand trial in the 44th Circuit Court in Livingston County for allegedly making threats against the life of a sitting circuit court judge, announced @MIAttyGen Dana Nessel. Read more at go.mi.gov/ztcju3776
“Public servants, from judges to clerks to local officials and lawmakers, shouldn’t have to fear for their personal safety, or their very lives, for fulfilling their duties. Threats of this nature are unacceptable against anyone, though when they are made against an officer of the court for their service to public safety, it’s a crime not only against the victim but also the institutions that keep all our communities safe. In 2019, I established the Hate Crimes and Terrorism Unit in our office to handle threats made such as these, which are becoming more common in the years since, and I trust the Unit will effectively pursue justice in this case,” said Attorney General Nessel at the time of Fawaz’ arraignment.

Statue of Lady Justice blindfolded, holding scales Quote from AG Nessel: “Tamal and Jerry Flore subjected their foster and adopted children to prolonged, routine and systemic mental and physical abuse all for personal financial gain. Children who become wards of the state are some of the most vulnerable and they must be protected. Today’s conviction ensures that no other children will be subjected to the Flores’ abuse again. I want to offer my heartfelt thanks to Clinton County Sheriff Dush and the prosecutors in my office for their years of effort towards justice.” DAG seal "mi.gov/agnews"

“Power of attorney is a significant legal authority one person can grant to another in a time of need, but it is not a license to steal. Vulnerable and elderly Michigan residents often must rely on a trusted relative or friend to help manage their finances or other affairs. When that trust and legal privilege is abused, my office will act to hold unscrupulous actors accountable,” said Attorney General Nessel. Read more at mi.gov/agnews Image: stacks of cash
