Actions on Applications for Leave to Appeal from the Court of Appeals.
Reconsideration Denied September 14, 2007:
Leave to appeal denied at 478 Mich 916.
For the reasons set forth in my dissenting statement at 478 Mich 916 (2007), I would grant appellants' motion for reconsideration and grant leave to appeal. Few recent appeals have raised issues of greater long-term consequence for the integrity of this state's legal system than the instant appeal. It is unfortunate — indeed it is inexplicable — that the highest court of this state would not view this case as warranting its attention. The practical and legal reverberations of today's decision will be felt for years to come in Michigan.
