Trial ordered in fatal shooting over dog dispute NOVI, Mich. (AP) – A suburban Detroit judge says a 28-year-old Iraq war veteran will stand trial for the death of a neighbor, who was shot during a dispute over a lost dog. Marine veteran Charles Simkins of Walled Lake is charged with an open count of murder in the Dec. 17 shooting of 45-year-old Ed Criswell. Authorities say that Simkins and Criswell got in a fight about Simkins beagle, which had been running loose. Novi District Court Judge Dennis Powers ruled Tuesday that theres enough evidence to send the case to trial, but she says prosecutors cant use Criswells videotaped confession during the trial because he made it clear he wanted a lawyer first. Simkins remains jailed without bond. Copyright 2014 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.
