A Michigan jury has acquitted Michael Jackson-Bolanos of first-degree murder in the fatal stabbing of Detroit synagogue president Samantha Woll in 2023. The jury did find Jackson-Bolanos guilty of lying to police but was deadlocked on felony murder and home invasion charges.
According to Jackson-Bolanos' attorney, the jury believed there was no premeditation in the murder but could not reach a decision on whether a felony, which includes home invasion, was involved. The suspect may face retrial on the deadlocked charges, with a pretrial hearing scheduled for next Thursday.
