June 14 (UPI) -- The Michigan Attorney General has charged the state's health director with involuntary manslaughter in the lead poisoning of Flint's water supply.
Michigan Health and Human Services Director Nick Lyon also faces another felony count: misconduct in office, according to court documents obtained by the Detroit Free Press that Attorney General Bill Schuette filed Tuesday.
Chief Medical Executive Eden Wells was also charged with obstruction of justice and lying to a police officer.
Judge G. David Guinn, in Michigan's 67th District Court, authorized the charges Wednesday morning in Flint.
The charges should be murder and crimes against humanity, but manslaughter is better than nothing. Justice is finally catching up to these sleazy sons of bitches who destroyed my home town.
