Michael George Will Not Be Freed In Anticipation Of His December Trial
Michael George was denied bond yesterday, apparently because he represents a flight risk. Earlier this year, the prominent Pennsylvania retailer and convention organizer was tried and convicted and sentenced to life in prison related to crimes including the murder of his then-wife in their Michigan comics store in 1990. That decision was recently overturned based in part on the judge's estimate of potential prosecutorial misconduct. George will start a new trial in December.
