8/12/13 - The case against the alleged I-96 shooter is due back in Livingston County Circuit Court this week. 44-year-old Raulie Casteel of Wixom is facing a number of charges including terrorism that were filed by the Michigan Attorney Generalâs Office following a series of shootings last October. The case has been on hold since June when Casteelâs defense attorney Douglas Mullkoff said he was still awaiting the results of independent competency and criminal responsibility evaluations. A November trial date has been scheduled in Oakland County where Casteel also faces charges, and the defense had sought to allow that case to proceed to trial first. Circuit Court Judge David Reader stated that whether or not a trial date is set before or after what is done in Oakland County is premature and heâll wait to see what results come from the defense examination, which he will review at the hearing Friday afternoon before determining what might be appropriate for future dates.
