DETROIT (AP) — A Massachusetts pharmacist charged with murder in the deaths of 11 Michigan residents from a 2012 U.S. meningitis outbreak has agreed to plead no contest to involuntary manslaughter, according to an email sent to families and obtained Friday by The Associated Press. The deal with Glenn Chin calls for a 7 1/2-year prison sentence, with credit for his current longer sentence for federal crimes, Johanna Delp of the state attorney general’s office said in the email.

White supremacists demonstrate Saturday at Brighton Mill Pond
A group of young white men wearing masks spent Saturday afternoon at the Brighton Mill Pond, shouting at passersby. The “White Lives Matter” group looked just like the one that demonstrated in downtown Howell on July 20, from their all-black outfits and cartoon skull masks, to their signage. That group, which marched around downtown Howell and then apparently made its way to the Latson Road overpass over I-96, was concerned about what it viewed as a “war on white children” and “white replacement.” (Our coverage of the July 20 event is below.)
