A recorded discussion between Dr. Myria Petrou and Prosecutor Savit is available here:
https://www.hail2thevictims.com/2025/04/first-amendment.html

Prosecutor Savit stated the office “was not an investigatory body”
No investigation occurred into the absence of a probable cause file underlying the search warrants that froze Dr. Foerster’s and Dr. Petrou’s bank accounts for over a year—resulting in a sheriff’s sale and eviction, despite the Michigan Attorney General stating such a file is required as a matter of law
No investigation occurred into unaccounted funds from the sheriff’s sale following foreclosure proceedings

Notably, Eli Savit also serves as a lecturer at the University of Michigan Law School—placing these positions alongside an ongoing academic role within the same institutional environment tied to the underlying events.
