I haven't been watching this case for a long time and just now decided to check in. The link provided is about the prosecution appealing the trial court decision to exclude certain evidence based on violation of attorney client privilege. The court of appeals reversed the trial court's decision. The documents are available on the docket. The decision is quite lengthy, too much to relate in a comment. But very interesting. It tells how Farmington Hills PD received a tip very early on regarding evidence against FG. I did not know anything of the evidence found and when, but I've been away from this case for a long time. Worth reading if anyone doesn't know what evidence they had, when and how they received the tip on where to recover it.Do not really know what this means....

I’m glad to know the prosecution is appealing that decision! Thank you.I haven't been watching this case for a long time and just now decided to check in.

Sorry I was mistaken. I went over the appeals decision again and only cell phone records will be allowed in evidence. The other evidence will not be allowed which was very convincing. I'm not sure if there can be any further appeal on it in Michigan. In Ohio if you have reasonable grounds, you can file a motion for reconsideration I think.I’m glad to know the prosecution is appealing that decision! Thank you.
There is absolutely nothing on any local media site to indicate that a trial is beginning today (Oakland County, MI).
Per an article in Hometown life dated 12:26/23 the trial has been delayed again.I really do not know "what" is going on with this case.
His Appeal Oakland Circuit Counrt [COA #364083] & Supreme Court [COA #364083] has concluded per that court site. And the case # [Oakland County Circuit Court #2019-272265-FC] I have for Danielle's case has been disposed 12/8/22 - ??
There are no other cases listed under Oakland County for him - just his divorce. His trial was supposed to start March 28, but nothing happened...
Anyone?
Here is the most recent media report that I could find about the case (December 26, 2023).
PONTIAC — Danielle Stislicki's accused killer's trial is still on hold over seven years after her disappearance.![]()
Trial for man charged with Danielle Stislicki's 2016 disappearance on hold
Danielle Stislicki's accused killer is set to stand trial in March, over seven years after her disappearance.www.hometownlife.com
The suspect, Floyd Galloway, was set to appear for trial on March 28 at the Sixth Circuit Court in Pontiac, but the case has again been put on hold due to appeals. Galloway is charged with the 2016 disappearance of the then 28-year-old Stislicki and was the last person seen with her. Prosecutors charged him with first-degree premeditated murder...
Galloway's trial, originally set for early 2021, has been repeatedly pushed back. Requests for more time, controversial evidence and Galloway's aforementioned conviction have all created complications with the Stislicki case.
Other challenges for prosecutors include the lack of any human remains and Judge Phyllis McMillen's 2022 decision to suppress key evidence, including Stislicki's smart watch and telephone, which McMillen viewed as "privileged information."
Yes, this judge is reallllly starting to grind my gears.Bbm
Can someone please explain to me how the VICTIM’s smart watch and phone are considered “privileged information?” What were the judge’s arguments for that?!?!
I’m sure DS would give permission, if only she could.
