The Wayne County Prosecutor's Office announced on Tuesday, Dec. 10, that the mother, whose son was 16 years old at the time of the crash, will not be charged in connection to the November 2023 crash. Kiernan Tague, who was 16 at the time of the crash, was charged in March with second-degree murder for the Nov. 13, 2023, crash that claimed the life of this 18-year-old friend, Flynn Mackrell. Police say Tague was driving over 100 miles per hour on a residential street in Grosse Pointe Farms where the speed limit was 25 mph when he lost control and struck a utility pole and tree. Mackrell's mother, Anne Vanker, requested the teen driver's mother be charged, citing the case of convicted Oxford High School shooter Ethan Crumbley and his parents, who were the first parents in United States history to be held responsible for a school shooting committed by their child. But Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said on Dec. 10 that a panel of assistant prosecutors determined the mother “was not directly or indirectly involved in any way in the offenses for which we have charged her son.” “Parenting is hard in the best of circumstances,” Worthy said in a statement. “Most parents do everything they can to mentor their children and steer them in the right direction. The juvenile respondent's mother was no different. She took consistent, active steps to try to make sure that he stayed on the right path.” "There will be those that say she should have done more, but we have looked at all of the facts and those facts dictate no criminal charges here," Worthy said. "We will not be more specific about her actions because her son will be facing trial in February. (The defendant's mother) was not directly or indirectly involved in any way in the offenses for which we have charged her son. Despite his mother's attempts, it is our firm position that the respondent and the respondent only is directly responsible for the crimes that we have adult designated and charged him with." MacKrell's mother Anne Vanker told The News she thought there was enough evidence to prove the driver's mother knew he was reckless because a Grosse Pointe Farms police report showed the woman had monitored her son's driving habits via the Life 360 app that allows parents to view their kids' driving speed, hard braking and other activity. Mackrell's mother previously told the paper that she believed the teen driver's parents could have done something to prevent the crash that killed her son. MacKrell's parents said he was picked up by a 16-year-old friend who was driving his mother's white 2021 BMW X3. They were going to surprise another friend in Grosse Pointe Farms. Afterward, the driver sped over 100 mph while heading southwest on Ridge Road, officials said. That stretch of the road has a 25 mph speed limit. He lost control of the SUV, struck a utility pole, went airborne, and then hit a tree, witnesses said. They reported that the SUV was moving “at a very high rate of speed.” “The vehicle was traveling at such a high rate of speed that the engine, transmission, front axle, and passenger compartment all separated from each other and scattered all over the roadway,” the police report says. Vanker called the announcement "a weak decision." "The wounds never close, and I'm disappointed," Vanker said. "When your child is skipping school or smoking pot, a parent maybe can't control that. But she knew her son was driving more than 100 mph because of the Life 360 app; that was right in the police report. She didn't try to control his behavior. And she provided him with the murder weapon, which was the car, knowing he was an aggressive driver. "I know Kym Worthy does the best she can, and her office gets a lot of cases," Vanker said. "But this was a missed opportunity. So many kids are killed in car accidents every year, and parents keep giving them the keys to these cars, knowing how crazy they drive. This was a chance to hold parents accountable. Now, my son is dead, and my family is destroyed." Tague is not being charged as an adult but is adult-designated, meaning if convicted, a judge can sentence him as a juvenile or as an adult or blended sentence with the option of imposing an adult sentence if Tague is not rehabilitated.

Detroiter Thelonious Seaercy has wrongfully served 17 years behind bars for a murder that a self-professed hitman has confessed to committing. Despite no evidence tying him to the scene of the alleged crime, Searcy is stuck in a holding pattern. He and his lawyer await to see if the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office appeals a ruling from the Michigan Court of Appeals. Why is he stuck under house arrest? Why doesn't Prosecutor Worthy dismiss his charges? Tune into this riveting episode of Open Mike to find out. Show Notes [00:07] Welcome to Open Mike! [00:26] Thelonious Searcy's background and bio. [00:54] Welcome to the show, Thelonious. Your name came up on Episode 10 of Open Mike, and I learned about you a long time ago during the Davontae Sanford case. Your name came up because both of you were wrongfully convicted, and there's a hitman out there doing the crimes! You've been out of prison since April 2021… what has life been like for you since getting out? [02:14] The two children you mentioned — you had them even before you went to prison. How old are they? And your wife stuck by you the last seventeen years you were incarcerated? [03:01] You're out on bond right now waiting for a second trial. The Michigan Court of Appeals says you should be given a new trial. When you got that decision five months ago, how did you feel? [04:13] What's your understanding of why the Court of Appeals decided you deserve a second trial? [05:27] What was the aspect of the case that made them decide you deserve a new trial? [07:43] What is a 40-caliber bullet relevant? [09:04] How did you find out that Jamal Segars was murdered? [10:11] Although Thelonious was at a family BBQ with over a dozen alibi witnesses, he became a suspect in the case due to a jailhouse informant, whom he knew from the streets. [17:05] Ten years after his conviction, Thelonious submitted a Brady Violation to his judge, but it was dismissed, claiming the information wasn't new. [18:32] That Brady Violation must have had something to do with you being granted a second trial. Is that true? [23:20] You're out on bond, you're wearing a tether… Prosecutor Worthy has the ability to change her mind, but she says she wants to try you for a second time despite all these moving parts and various claims from multiple parties and admissions from hitmen… What about all the alibi witnesses, how many were called in the first trial? [25:11] Thelonious had improper, paid representation from an attorney who is since deceased. [25:52] Is your current attorney having discussions with Prosecutor Worthy about dismissing your second trial altogether? [26:54] What do you think Prosecutor Worthy's vendetta is? [29:19] You're confirmed to home in the meantime — do you have a trial date? [29:49] Thelonious wrote eighteen books while he was incarcerated. [29:56] Check out Thelonious's book, Be First: Part 1 & 2 (Hood Novel) on Amazon! [30:47] What do you think are the main reasons you were convicted in the first place? [37:54] What did this alleged eyewitness, Natasha, testify to? [39:29] You had this one eyewitness and three others who corroborated her claim … were they all there at the scene of the crime? [40:13] You believe that the jury will believe the alleged hitman, Vincent Smothers, if he testifies and admits responsibility for this murder? [40:57] I have a note here that says you recently graduated from Blackstone Career Institute… tell us what that is and what you hope to do with that, assuming that tether comes off! [43:04] Amazing. Thelonious, I wish you the best of luck and I hope things go your way. Please keep us up to date on what happens! Your case was eye-opening, and I hope you keep in touch. [44:21] Thelonious has a documentary in the works — be on the lookout for it in the next six months! [45:30] Thelonious Searcy's story isn't over — we will see if Kym Worthy decides to try him a second time or drop the charges.

Nearly 1 and 5 women have been raped or sexually assaulted in this country. 22% of black women have been raped or sexually assaulted in this country. A lot of victims are afraid to come forward due to the lack of compassion from the police departments. In Detroit, over 15,000 rape kits were sitting in a warehouse for over 10 years before something was done about it. Some of those cases went as fair back as the 1980’s.

On December 29, 2009 two cars pulled up to a Detroit intersection. In one was J.B. Watson, his girlfriend LaRita Thomas, and his cousin Phillip Reed. In the other, two black men. One got out and fired multiple shots at the trio, killing Watson. The shooting was claimed to be gang related and Darrell Ewing and and his co-defendant Derrico Searcy were convicted of the murder. However, Darell had a solid alibi at a family funeral and Tyree Washington came forward repeatedly to confess to the murder, including under oath. In 2017, Darrell and Derrico were ordered a new trial based on jury contamination and lack of overwhelming evidence of guilt. Again in 2019 a judge ordered a new trial, but the prosecutor Kym Worthy has fought every decision and appeal. They have been in prison for almost a decade for a crime they did not commit.

Erickson), 9 (Joan Meier), 10 (Barry Goldstein), 11 (Kathleen Russell), the first set of episodes on the first family court crisis.  Michael and I used to work together and served many students who were not in school or not working and were looking to develop skills to go back to school or to find a job.  The young people we were helping often had their systemic barriers exacerbated by personal conflict in their lives that were difficult to manage, such as parents who didn't prioritize their education or work over their care-taking responsibilities, or romantic partners who were not helping to parent, didn't support their efforts to better themselves, and/or engaged in deliberate patterns of behavior to sabotage their school and/or work. I was interested in Michael's perspective on the topics covered in our shows so far, especially since the majority of listeners are, not surprisingly, female.  I hope you will find this episode engaging and, for the male listeners, an entree into your own exploration of what en(gender)ed has to offer you. During our reflection, we talked about these additional resources: Leadership Council data estimating the number of cases annually where children are placed with abusers NY Model for Batterer Programs Chris Fabricant's work at the Innocence Project on Eyewitness Testimony Adam Ruins Everything's episode on bad forensic science and its dangers when applied n the family court system setting NPR's episode on Innocence Deniers and Kym Worthy's work on the Davontae Sanford case in Michigan Jon Freeman's psychology and neuroscience lab at NYU and his Mouse Tracker software Dartmouth study on how more "feminine" looking female politicians are more likely to win elections Radiolab Presents: More Perfect - One Nation, Under Money and how that episodes' description of how the Commerce Clause was used, unsuccessfully, protect women from gendered crimes. Estimating the economic costs of gender-based violence ($500 billion annually correction, not million, as shared in the recording) The Adverse Childhood Experiences Study and its origin as an obesity study and its subsequent findings and connection with childhood incest --- Thanks for tuning in to the en(gender)ed podcast!
