Michael George Trial To Begin February 26: Salacious Details to Be Admitted

The Macomb Daily continues their solid coverage of the murder trial facing former retailer and convention organizer Michael George over the 1990 slaying of his wife in their Michigan comic book store. According to the latest update, the trial begins one week from tomorrow, February. The piece goes on to analyze a decision by the court to allow the prosecution to enter into evidence details about extra-marital affairs, some of them quite salacious, in order to probe into the questions of motivation and state of mind. Barbara George was shot to death in July 1990. Michael George remarried in 1992 to former Michigan store employee Renee Kotula, the couple moved to Pennsylvania where George opened another comics store and became a driving force behind Pittsburgh's sizable comics convention.
