Judge Rules Case Against Samantha Woll's Accused Killer Can Proceed

Evidence including surveillance video and a blood-stained coat ties suspect Michael Jackson-Bolanos to the crime scene.

Michael Jackson-Bolanos, 28, is accused of fatally stabbing Samantha Woll, a Jewish leader and Democrat activist, during a home invasion in Detroit's Lafayette Park neighborhood.
Judge Kenneth King has ruled that there is enough evidence for the case to proceed, despite defense attorney Brian Brown's argument that there is no evidence tying Jackson-Bolanos to Woll or her home.
Surveillance video and cellphone location data used by the FBI show Jackson-Bolanos in the area of Woll’s home when her security system’s motion sensor last showed movement before she was found stabbed to death.
A coat found at Jackson-Bolanos' girlfriend’s house, which matched the one he appeared to be wearing in the surveillance video, tested positive for Woll’s blood.
Jackson-Bolanos is due in Third Circuit Court on Jan. 30 for arraignment on charges of first-degree murder, felony murder, home invasion and lying to police.
