The murder trial of a man accused of killing a Detroit synagogue president is set to conclude on Thursday, with or without a verdict. The defendant, Michael Jackson-Bolanos, faces charges of first-degree premeditated murder, felony murder, home invasion, and lying to a peace officer in connection with the death of Samantha Woll, the board president of the Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue in Detroit.
Jurors in the trial have been deadlocked, with conflicting testimony from an ex-boyfriend of the victim, Jeffrey Herbstman. Herbstman initially indicated possible involvement in Woll's death but later testified that he had no part in it.
