James Biernat, who was appointed to the bench in 2011, was first named chief judge in 2015 after John Foster retired. Biernat also serves as chief judge of Macomb Probate Court and both divisions of the county court, 42nd District Court, in Romeo and New Baltimore.
Judge Joseph Boedeker bound over Stephen Freeman to Macomb County Circuit Court on six charges, including two first-degree offenses under premeditation and during the commissioner of a felony, and four other charges including second-degree criminal sexual conduct.
Stephen Freeman, who was homeless at the time, in what appears to be a random act is accused of breaking into Seitz’s home about 6:15 p.m. last Oct. 26 and surprising Seitz about an hour later when she arrived home on her bicycle from her job at National Coney Island. He allegedly beat her and fatally strangled her.
