Michigan prison inmate charged with solicitation of murder
COLDWATER, Mich. (AP) — A Michigan prison inmate has been charged with solicitation of murder after authorities say he tried to arrange the slaying of an ex-girlfriend.
The office of Attorney General Bill Schuette says 28-year-old Michael Christopher Still of St. Clair County is facing the charge in Branch County. The charge was filed Wednesday and the District Court says Thursday that Still doesn’t yet have a lawyer on record.
Schuette’s office says officials at Lakeland Correctional Facility in Branch County in April intercepted a letter that was returned to Still as undeliverable. In the letter, they say Still attempted to solicit a former prison inmate to kill Still's ex-girlfriend.
Still, who was imprisoned for robbery, is being held at Ionia Correctional Facility. Branch County prosecutors asked Schuette's office to handle the case.
Saginaw man gets life sentence in murders of mother, sister
SAGINAW, Mich. (AP) — A 23-year-old Saginaw man convicted of killing his mother and sister has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Stephon Roby was found guilty in December of two counts of first-degree murder and four firearm offenses. He was convicted of fatally shooting his mother, Leigh King, and 11-year old sister, Sharleea King, in their Saginaw home in March 2013.
The Saginaw News reports Roby underwent several psychiatric exams prior to his trial and each of them determined he was mentally competent and could be held criminally responsible.
Roby represented himself at trial and during the sentencing hearing on Wednesday. He plans to appeal the convictions.
