After more than 100 interviews, Gretchen Whitmer says no one had personal knowledge of Stuart Dunnings' alleged crimes and that any problem in that office left when he resigned.
Dunnings officially left his position as Ingham County Prosecutor in early July after being charged with several counts related to prostitution, alleged crimes uncovered after a year-long investigation by the Attorney General.
Former lawmaker Gretchen Whitmer took over the office on an interim basis with a goal of restoring trust and confidence in the Ingham County Prosecutor's Office.
According to a report released Friday, Whitmer says she conducted more than 100 interviews and meetings during her due diligence, including interviews with office staff, the AG's office, several defense attorneys and every police chief for every jurisdiction in Ingham County.
Whitmer concluded none of the Assistant Prosecuting Attorneys nor support staff at the Ingham County Prosecutor's Office had personal knowledge of Mr. Dunnings' alleged crimes. She also has full confidence that any problem that existed in the office left when Dunnings did.
The 11-page report details some of the conversations she had with people, including staff who described Dunnings as an "absentee landlord" and detached on a personal level. Click the link inside this story to read the report.
