Michigan school shooting defendant Ethan Crumbley waives preliminary hearing
CNN
A teen accused of killing four fellow students at a Michigan high school in November waived his right to a preliminary examination Friday, nudging the case toward trial without prosecutors needing to first persuade a judge they have probable cause to try him.
Ethan Crumbley, wearing an orange jail shirt and a mask, appeared before an Oakland County judge in a video conference and said he understood his decision and his rights.
Prosecutors agreed to the waiver, and Judge Nancy Carniak said she would bind the case to court for trial, and that a hearing would be held within the next two weeks to assign a judge.

Janet Mills and her allies are counting on a gender gap to narrow Platner’s wide lead ahead of the June 9 primary to decide who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins. They are betting that the unfiltered style that has brought Platner widespread attention as someone who could help Democrats reach young men will backfire with women.
