A Michigan lawyer is reporting that a suspect being held in connection with the investigation into the deadly stabbing of a leader of a Detroit synagogue has been set free. For more, we turn to Sydney Sumner with Crime Online.

After stating that the suspect had been released, attorney Allison Krieger declined to provide any further details. The suspect, according to our friends with the Detroit Free Press, is a male. No charges have been brought in the case. The victim, 40-year-old Samantha Wall, served as president of Isaac Agri Downtown Synagogue in Detroit. Investigators suspect the attack happened inside her Detroit home, but she was discovered dead outside on October 21, only hours after returning from a wedding. On November 8, Chief of Police James White announced that a suspect was under arrest.

However, he said that it, quote, does not signify the end of our work in this instance. Wall's murder has raised rumors that it was related to hostility toward the Israel-Hamas conflict. However, White stated that anti-Semitism doesn't seem to be the cause of the incident. Samantha Wall had previously worked on State Attorney General Dana Nessel's political campaign and for U.S. Representative Elisa Slotkin, in addition to her work at the synagogue. Charges have been leveled against a Michigan man in connection with the death of a 62-year-old woman whose body was discovered in the bed of a crashed pickup truck. He also faces other counts in the case. 20-year-old

Stephen Freeman of Lexington was charged with first-degree premeditated murder, home invasion, and second-degree criminal sexual conduct by Maycomb County prosecutors. Freeman's case was subsequently transferred to circuit court. Freeman was already charged with felony murder, receiving and concealing a body, and concealing a person's death. It was on October 27, 2022, that the body of Gabriela Seitz was found inside the truck after Freeman, the driver, fled the scene of a minor accident. Seitz was from Shelby Township.

Lynn Finch to schedule the execution of two death row inmates. Once again, Crime Online's Sydney Sumner. In motions submitted on Thursday, Fitch's office requested that the court set a date for Willie Jerome Manning and Robert Simon Jr. to be put to death. 55-year-old Manning was found guilty in 1994 on two charges of capital murder related to the Octopaha County murders of Mississippi State University students John Steckler and Tiffany Miller in December 1992. 60-year-old Simon and another man were found guilty of killing a family of four in Quitman County in 1990. It was over ten years ago that the courts granted stays, preventing Manning and Simon from being executed at that time. The court is still considering the motions from the Mississippi Attorney General.
