1/21/14 - The defense is expected to begin calling witnesses Wednesday in the trial of the alleged I-96 shooter. The trial picked back up today in Livingston County Circuit Court, where 44-year-old Raulie Casteel of Wixom faces terrorism and other charges in connection with two dozen shootings in October 2012. The case is being prosecuted by the Michigan Attorney Generalâs Office, which completed its witness list today. Testimony was heard from alleged victims who described how shots were fired at their vehicles as well as law enforcement officials, two men who picked up shell casings on M-52 and an FBI special agent who spoke with Casteel at his home after he was identified as a suspect. The trial will resume tomorrow morning, when defense testimony will begin. Casteel's lawyer has said his client wasn't trying to hurt anyone. Casteel is expected to take the stand, but itâs unclear when. (JM)
