LANSING, Mich. – A state prosecutor who lost his job after having a relationship with a woman in an assault case isn’t entitled to unemployment benefits.

An administrative law judge with the state of Michigan says Brian Kolodziej’s “misconduct has been established.” Kolodziej was an assistant attorney general until he was forced out in September.
