Family of Flint Murder Victim Speaks Out about David LeytonBy Saul Anuzis, Section News
Michigan has been fortunate for the last eight years to have tremendous Republican leadership from Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land and Attorney General Mike Cox. But everything they've accomplished, and all of the damage they've helped prevent the Democrats in Lansing from doing, would be undone if the Democrats succeed this fall and elect Jocelyn Benson and David Leyton, two of the most liberal, frightening candidates the Democrats have ever nominated, to succeed them. Leyton's campaign is all but based on his plan to end Mike Cox's lawsuit to stop Obamacare. Talk about liberal. Those are the stakes. As Michigan's Republican National Committeeman and a former Chairman of the Michigan Republican Party everyone knows where I stand. Yesterday we learned where a few others stand, too. The Detroit Free Press reports that the families of crime victims in Flint don't have very nice things to say about David Leyton.
The body of Simpson's son was found in the Flint River 18 days after his disappearance in April 1985. He had been last seen by his stepmother (one of two people eventually convicted in his death). Simpson said Monday that Leyton's office agreed to review her son's death in 2005 after she and police investigators sought action. Despite witness statements and evidence from a new post-mortem exam that indicated he had been poisoned before he went in the river, Leyton declined to file charges, Simpson said.
She said she camped outside his office, but the prosecutor "refused to meet with me." The attorney general subsequently won the conviction of the stepmother and her brother on first-degree murder using the same witness statements and evidence, Simpson said. When you're the Prosecutor in the most violent, crime ridden city in the state--a city on track for a record setting number of murders this year--and you refuse to prosecute the murders that are being committed, you deserve to get a pink slip, not a promotion. I encourage everyone to rally around Bill Schuette over the course of the next seven weeks to make sure David Leyton doesn't sneak his particular brand of failed leadership from Flint to Lansing.
