Allegan murder suspect rejects plea, heads to trial
ALLEGAN An Allegan man facing open murder charges has rejected a plea offer from the Allegan County Prosecutor s Office and has requested a jury trial on charges he shot and killed a man in November.
Nolan Woodworth, 27, is accused of shooting Cody Cline, 35, outside Cline s home north of Allegan on Nov. 2.
Witnesses told police that a man was visiting the home, shot Cline outside and fled the area in a vehicle. Woodworth was arrested in Grand Rapids on Nov. 3.
Wednesday, appearing in court by video from the Allegan Couny Jail, Woodworth rejected a plea offer from the Allegan County Prosecutor s Office under which he would have pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in exchange for dropping additional felony firearms and habitual offender charges Woodworth faces.
Hamilton murder suspect calls for new judge
ALLEGAN Attorneys for a Hamilton man accused of the cold case murder of his adoptive daughter argued Tuesday he should get a new judge.
Dennis Bowman, 71, is charged with the 1989 murder of 14-year-old Aundria Bowman and is awaiting a jury trial.
Bowman s lawyers said Judge Margaret Bakker should not oversee his trial because of her involvement in the case as an assistant prosecuting attorney in the Allegan County Prosecutor s Office in 1989, when Aundria was reported as a runaway.
Richard Catalino, Bowman s lead defense attorney, said he found a reference to Bakker s involvement in a note on a police report.
