Trial For Man Charged In 2018 Killing Of Hunter In Bath Twp. Delayed As Case Takes Unusual Turn

ST. JOHNS — The trial for one of two men charged in connection with the death of a hunter at Rose Lake State Wildlife Area nearly five years ago has been adjourned for three months while prosecutors and defense attorneys work to resolve issues in the case.

Among the issues, according to the defense: Whether someone else killed Chong Moua Yang of Lansing.

29th Circuit Court Judge Shannon Schlegel this week agreed to adjourn the trial for Thomas Olson after the state Attorney General's Office and attorneys for Olson stipulated they needed more time to prepare "in the interest of justice."
