Mark Mandell represented Paul Seewald in Livonia District
Court today. Mr. Seewald is charged with
9 misdemeanor election fraud counts and one felony conspiracy count.
These charges stem from Mr. Seewald’s alleged connection to
the possible fraud of nominating petition signatures for the reelection
campaign of U.S. Congressman Thaddeus McCotter.
At the Preliminary Exam on Thursday, Mr. Mandell called
Congressman McCotter to the stand. Mr.
McCotter testified that Don Yowchuang, another defendant in the case, was the
one who had been delegated the responsibility of collecting and filing the
petition signatures with the Secretary of State.
During his closing argument, Mr. Mandell argued that the Attorney
General had failed to show probable cause on the felony conspiracy charge
against Mr. Seewald. Probable cause is
required for the case to go forward to trial.
After hearing the argument, Judge Sean Kavanagh decided to take the
matter under advisement prior to making a ruling.
Mark Mandell, a partner at the law firm of Fausone Bohn, LLP
in Northville, is defending Mr. Seewald against these fraud and conspiracy
allegations.
