We want to thank each and every one of you for your support in our mission to get #JusticeForZay. With the two-month mark approaching Prosecutor Gilbert still has not filed any charges against Adam Yancer, nor disqualified himself as required by law. David Gilbert has held multiple events at the Cricket, personal and political but still continues to deny a conflict of interest. Please continue to share Zay's via the petition, RT on Twitter our #JusticeForZay Tweets, and know that your efforts are appreciated.

People v. Doyle, 159 Mich. App. 632, 406 N.W.2d 893 (Mich. Ct. App. 1987)
Excerpt
"In Michigan, the recusal of a prosecuting attorney who has a personal interest in the case is required by the Code of Professional Responsibility. Canon 9 provides that "a lawyer should avoid even the appearance of professional impropriety."
"The instant cases fall into the second category, which includes situations where the prosecuting attorney has a personal interest (financial or emotional) in the litigation, or has some personal relationship (kinship, friendship or animosity) with the accused. In Michigan, the recusal of a prosecuting attorney who has a personal interest in the case is required by the Code of Professional Responsibility. Canon 9 provides that "a lawyer should avoid even the appearance of professional impropriety."
"The second policy served by disqualification of a prosecuting attorney for conflict of interest is the preservation of public confidence in the impartiality and integrity of the criminal justice system. Greer, supra, p 268; Conner, supra, p 146; 31 ALR3d 953. American courts have consistently held that the appearance of impropriety is sufficient to justify disqualification of a prosecuting attorney. A defendant need not prove actual bad faith or unethical conduct on the part of the prosecutor and his staff". Love v Superior Court, 111 Cal.App.3d 367; 168 Cal.Rptr. 577 (1980); 31 ALR3d 953; Ward v State, 33 Okla. Cr. 182; 242 P. 575 (1926).
