Pharmacist blamed for deaths in meningitis outbreak expected to plead no contest in Michigan case
HOWELL, Mich. (AP) — A Massachusetts pharmacist charged with murder in the deaths of 11 Michigan residents from a 2012 U.S. meningitis outbreak is expected to plead no contest Thursday to involuntary manslaughter. Glenn Chin, 56, was to appear Thursday in a Livingston County, Michigan, courtroom. His trial had been scheduled for November, but has been scratched. A no-contest plea is not an admission of guilt, but is used as such at sentencing.

The Violent Crime Rate In Michigan May Surprise You
Crime rates have been on the rise since the 1980s or 1990s and haven't slowed down in most states but this is for a multitude of reasons. Nonetheless, the surprising thing about these crime rates is that they are in very concentrated areas as the suburban neighborhoods continue to have lower crime rates.
