Bummer. A conviction would have been a lock if the Hines Park incident had been allowed in.Supreme Court declines appeal regarding Danielle Stislicki murder case
April 28, 2021
The state’s highest court will not let Floyd Galloway’s prosecutors re-assert that sexual assault evidence can be used to prove he murdered a missing Farmington Hills woman.
The Michigan Supreme Court issued an April 27 order that denied the request to appeal “because we are not persuaded that the question presented should be reviewed by this court.”
Oakland Circuit Judge Phyllis McMillen and the Michigan Court of Appeals already have ruled that the assault evidence should not be used to prove the premeditated murder of Danielle Stislicki, 28, because the two cases involved facts too dissimilar.

Ellen Michaels, Galloway’s murder defense attorney, said the Michigan Supreme Court obviously ruled that the right legal decisions already had been made. Now, she and Galloway can focus on the murder investigation.
