Hearing Set For Potential New Michael George Trial Evidence

As reported here, it looks like new evidence may be entered into the Michigan re-trial of former prominent Pennsylvania comics retailer and convention organizer Michael George for the 1990 assassination-style murder of George's then-wife Barbara in their Macomb County comic book store. The evidence in question -- to be considered Friday in a special hearing -- seems to feed an alternative storyline to George being the perpetrator: a disagreement between another (now apparently deceased) hobby retailer and George over the conduct of this other retailer's employee, and the black car that the figure may have owned that may or may not match descriptions of same given by other contextual witnesses to the original crime. Black cars lingering around crime scenes are a hallmark of most murder cases where there's not a direct, linear, and well-witnessed narrative, but I have to imagine that even getting a hearing on this stuff benefits George. George's 2008 conviction was later set aside for re-trial because of malfeasance by the prosecutor's office.
