A former University of Michigan business administrator was arrested this month for allegedly embezzling over approximately $85,000 in computer equipment and other fraudulent purchases. If convicted, the suspect could spend up to 30 years in jail.

In recent news, two separate instances of fraud have been reported involving food and convienience store owners trying to exploit the federally-run food-stamp program. In both cases, the suspects are accused of illegally obatining hundreds of thousands of dollars in their scheme, allowing customers to exchange food-stamps for cash and other items.

The Michigan Court of Appeals has granted a convicted murderer another shot at gaining his freedom. Michael George, 49, was found guilty of homicide based on the presentation of circumstantial evidence. However, new information discovered by George’s defense counsel shows not only that he may not be at fault, but that prosecution exhibited misconduct during the trial.
