5/17/13 - A court hearing for the alleged I-96 shooter has again been delayed in Livingston County. Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuetteâs office is prosecuting Raulie Casteel of Wixom on terrorism, attempted murder and other charges in Livingston County, where a pre-trial hearing was scheduled for May 31st. However, on Thursday officials confirmed the date has been moved until June 7th. No reason was given for the delay. Casteel, who is accused of using a handgun to fire on two dozen motorists in a four-county area last October, was previously found competent to stand trial following state forensic testing but his defense team is seeking out an expert to perform an independent psychiatric evaluation. The findings of separate evaluations that were previously ordered to determine criminal responsibility also remain outstanding. A pre-trial in Oakland County Circuit Court is set for May 30th, where Casteel faces 60 charges including attempted murder for shootings in Commerce Township and in Wixom. (JK)
