Detroit Land Bank must stop standing in the way of homeownership | Thompson

Imagine standing before a vacant house you have dreamed of owning. The windows are boarded. The grass has overtaken the walkway. Nobody lives there. You have the determination to restore it, the willingness to invest your savings and the desire to make it your home. But there is one problem. The government holds the keys. And the door remains locked. That image captures a troubling contradiction in Detroit, where residents seeking to restore abandoned properties and build a future through homeownership have sometimes found themselves confronting the very institution entrusted with helping revive their neighborhoods.

Details involving the women, who are identified by the code names"F-1" and "F-2," and allegations Taylor directed female church workers to perform sex acts and share nudes, were unfairly prejudicial, defense lawyers argued. Court filings reveal a rift between prosecutors and women who might have been expected to testify as the government's star witnesses at trial in April as two of the dozens of women prosecutors said were forced to perform sex acts for Taylor and provide explicit pictures and videos. Instead, the women could end up testifying for the defense after what they categorized as a betrayal by prosecutors effectively outing them and disclosing the sexual messages. “Must
