Michigan's former "state rep" couple (Todd Coureser/Cindy Gamrat) facing serious charges

To be honest, I'm pretty surprised at how this is proceeding because, usually, the Republicans turn a blind eye. But something about this case really, really riled them up:

UPDATE: AG Schuette says charges 'will stick'

LANSING, MI — Former state reps Todd Courser and Cindy Gamrat will face felony charges for their role in a scandal to cover-up their extramarital affair, Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette announced Friday.

The charges, according to the attorney general's office, are:

Gamrat:

• Two charges of Misconduct in Office, MCL 750.505, a felony, with a maximum penalty of five years in prison and/or a maximum $10,000 fine.

Courser:

• Three charges of Misconduct in Office, MCL 750.505, a felony, with a maximum penalty of five years in prison and/or a maximum $10,000 fine.

• One charge of Perjury, MCL 750.423, a felony, with a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison.

The charges were filed this morning in Ingham County District Court, and both of the former lawmakers will be contacted by their attorneys and "have been offered the chance to turn themselves in to the Michigan State Police," according to the attorney general's office.

Arraignments have not yet been scheduled, but are expected soon after Courser and Gamrat are notified by their attorneys.
