Michael George To Fight Extradition

A couple of substantive updates late last week in the case of Pennsylvania retailer and Pittsburgh Comicon organizer Michael Ralph George, arrested on charges from Michigan authorities in Macomb County that he murdered his then-wife in 1990 in his Michigan comic shop. First, George will fight extradition from Pennsylvania to Michigan. Second, he claims he's innocent of the charges facing him. Third, he faces one count each of first-degree murder, second-degree murder and using a firearm during a felony; he may face charges from a suspected false report regarding comic books he claimed were stolen at the scene of the crime that was originally put forward as a motive in the slaying.

A couple of background notes that you can get by reading between the lines in the above links: prosecutors suspect that George committed the crime to get out of the marriage in order to pursue another relationship; defense attorneys will hit on lack of evidence.
