3:06Now PlayingDuring a court hearing Thursday, a Wayne County Judge ordered more time to decide on whether murder charges against Michael Jackson-Bolanos would be retried.
Jackson-Bolanos was on trial for most of June and July for the murder of Samantha Woll. The murder trial ended in a mistrial after the jury could not render a verdict after 5 days of deliberations.
Prosecutors now have the choice of re-trying the case or dropping the charges that led to the deadlock. During Thursday's hearing, the judge in the case said Jackson-Bolanos' attorney filed to have the charges dismissed. She said the court and prosecution needed time to consider the motion. The next court date is set for Aug. 9.
He's still being held without bond.
Jackson-Bolanos was charged with felony murder, first-degree murder, home invasion, and lying to a peace officer in connection with the October 2023 stabbing of Woll.
Last week, a jury convicted Jackson-Bolanos of lying to police and found him not guilty of premeditated murder. However, they could not come to an agreement on the remaining charges - felony murder and home invasion.
