CEO charged in Oakland County hyperbaric chamber explosion death appears in court. Here’s why

The CEO of an Oakland County healthcare facility, Tamela Peterson, along with three other workers, faces charges related to the death of a 5-year-old boy in a hyperbaric chamber explosion at the Oxford Center. During a court hearing, Judge Maureen McGinnis discussed the use of a taint team to filter privileged documents, a proposal opposed by Peterson's defense due to the team's association with the prosecution's agency. Despite the objections, the motion was granted, and Peterson is expected to return to court in July.
