WARREN/EASTPOINTE A Warren city councilman facing misdemeanor charges after he allegedly handcuffed a counterdemonstrator who reportedly put “Black Lives Matter” stickers on a Donald Trump political sign at a rally in Eastpointe last fall is requesting a trial by jury.
Councilman Eddie Kabacinski’s hearing before Judge Kathleen Galen in Eastpointe’s 38th District Court on March 2 was adjourned. According to court records, a final pretrial hearing was set for 1 p.m. on April 20.
Jury trials have been suspended at courts across Michigan due to the coronavirus. According to the court’s website, the 38th District Court remained closed to the public on March 2, with criminal hearings being conducted for in-custody defendants only. All other matters were being handled via Zoom video conferencing only.
