TROY (AP) -- A 22-year-old man accused of killing his father in the basement of their suburban Detroit home and then dumping the body in a cornfield faces a Sept. 24 hearing to decide if he should go on trial for murder.
Oakland County 52-4 District Court Judge William Bolle scheduled the preliminary examination at court appearance Monday for Patrick Mikes Jr.
