Michigan Court of Appeals Grants Leave to Appeal In People vs. Christopher Schurr
Statement from Kent County Prosecutor Chris Becker:
“We were informed by the Michigan Court of Appeals today (April 13, 2023) that they have granted the defense request for leave to appeal and will review the decisions by Judge Ayoub and Judge Elmore to set this case for trial. This was always a possibility, and simply means they are reviewing the determination that the defendant was properly bound over for trial. Both parties will have an opportunity to file additional briefs with the court, and present oral argument at a time to be set later by the Court of Appeals. We have no additional information at this time.”
