Lawyer: ‘Keep an open mind’ on priest charged with big theft
OWOSSO, Mich. (AP) — A lawyer is urging the public to “keep an open mind” and not make quick judgments in the case of a priest accused of embezzling hundreds of thousands of dollars from a Michigan church.
Cassandra Green tells The Associated Press that a lot of information compiled by state police needs to be reviewed.
The Rev. David Fisher was pastor for 23 years at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Owosso, 90 miles northwest of Detroit. The Catholic Diocese of Lansing says $450,000 is missing.
The 70-year-old Fisher retired in 2015 and moved to Grand Forks, North Dakota. He appeared in court Thursday in Shiawassee County. Not-guilty pleas were entered to many charges.
Sports doc accused of sexual assault loses Michigan license
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — A Michigan sports doctor accused of sexually assaulting dozens of women and girls has lost his medical license for at least three years.
Larry Nassar must pay $100,000 if he wants to reapply. His license was revoked Thursday by Michigan regulators, three months after it was suspended.
Nassar was a doctor at Michigan State University and USA Gymnastics, which trains Olympians. He's charged with molesting 10 girls in the Lansing area, mostly young gymnasts.
Separately, he's being sued by dozens more who say he sexually assaulted them during treatments. Nassar denies wrongdoing.
Besides the lawsuits and sexual assault allegations, Nassar is charged in federal court with possessing child pornography. He’s in jail without bond.
