More testimony planned in effort for new trial
MANISTEE, Mich. (AP) -- A judge is expected to hear more testimony that could lead to a new trial for a Detroit-area man convicted of killing his wife by dragging her into a lake in northwestern Michigan.
Mark Unger has new experts to challenge the prosecution's theory of the 2003 death of Florence Unger. The Traverse City Record-Eagle reports testimony began last month in Manistee and more witnesses are planned.
Unger's attorney F. Martin Tieber says more testimony likely won't take place until August at the earliest.
Authorities said the Huntington Woods woman was pushed off the roof of a boathouse and dragged into Lower Herring Lake, where she drowned.
Mark Unger was convicted in Benzie County and is serving a life sentence, but he insists the fall was accidental.
