LANSING, Mich. — The state of Michigan says the case against the retired Michigan State Police sergeant accused of murder should not be dismissed.
Brian Keely faces second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter charges for the death of Samuel Sterling on April 17.
Keely’s attorneys filed a motion last month claiming their client has immunity as defined by the Supremacy Clause in the U.S. Constitution.
The attorney general’s office filed a 33-page response Friday arguing Keely is not entitled to immunity.
A federal judge hasn’t issued a decision on the motion yet.
