3/14/13 - A pretrial hearing has been scheduled for a man accused of a series of shootings on and off I-96 in southeast Michigan, including Livingston County. Raulie Casteel appeared today for an arraignment in Oakland County Circuit Court, where an April 4th pretrial was set. Casteel earlier waived a hearing to determine if prosecutors have enough evidence for trial. He faces 60 charges in Oakland County, including attempted murder, linked to shootings in Commerce Township and in Wixom. In a separate but related case, the Michigan attorney general's office is prosecuting Casteel on terrorism, attempted murder and other charges in Livingston County. A March 18th hearing is set for those cases. Two dozen random shootings occurred last fall in a four-county area. Only one driver was injured, a West Michigan man who was shot in the buttocks near Fowlerville as he drove to Detroit to see the Tigers in the World Series. (JK)
