Man heading to trial in Samantha Woll murder case

Man heading to trial for murder of Detroit synagogue president Samantha Woll 01:19

(CBS DETROIT) – Detroit Judge Kenneth King ruled there was enough evidence to send Michael Jackson-Bolanos to trial for the murder of Samantha Woll , who was found stabbed outside of her Detroit home three months ago.

This comes after two days of testimony inside the 36th District Court. Prosecutors laid out evidence that included video surveillance from nearby businesses and green light cameras near Woll’s Lafayette home in the early morning hours of Oct. 21.

That’s when Woll’s body was discovered lying outside her home.

Prosecutors called several Detroit police detectives to the stand during Jackson-Bolanos’ preliminary hearing and laid out cellphone location data as well as a timeline of surveillance footage where Jackson-Bolanos could be seen walking away from the scene.

Defense attorney Brian Brown questioned the authenticity of the video and challenged whether or not detectives properly verified the source and actual date of the video.
