Third I have a call in to a local judge friend who was once a homicide detective to see if other cases can be pursued against him. FReep mail me over the weekend and I'll tell you the results, I don't think I should post the info.
Another thought that occurred to me was whether anyone thinks that the Michigan police have enough evidence to prosecute him successfully in Michigan. If he must be released in 2012, releasing him into the custody of Michigan authorities to stand trial there would be better than nothing. I hope Texas would extradite him without question if Texas had no other evidence with which to prosecute him for other murders.
