Suspect in I-96 corridor shootings heads toward trial
The man suspected of 20 shootings along the Interstate 96 corridor waived his right to a preliminary examination and will head toward trial, MLive reported.
Raulie Casteel did not appear in the Livingston County District Court Monday for a preliminary hearing. Through his attorney, Casteel indicated he had elected to waive the exam and head to the Livingston County Circuit Court for trial.
Casteel was arrested on Nov. 17 after a large police task force from local, state and federal agencies matched his gun to bullet fragments pulled from vehicles.
Casteel is accused of shooting at more than 20 vehicles and injuring one man. He’s charged with terrorism, assault with intent to murder and five felony firearm counts.
