July 9, 2005Unger will stand trial in death of wifeBEULAH (AP) - More than a year after being charged with first-degree murder, a suburban Detroit man was ordered to stand trial in the death of his estranged wife at a northern Michigan resort.Benzie County District Judge Brent Danielson ruled Thursday that there was sufficient evidence for Mark Unger, 44, of Huntington Woods, to be tried on second-degree murder charges in the death of his wife, Florence, in 2003. No trial date has been set, the Detroit Free Press reported in Friday editions. Defense attorney Robert Harrison said Danielson noted in a written ruling that prosecutors did not provide a theory of premeditation for Florence Unger's death, which would disallow a first-degree murder charge. Unger has denied killing his wife, whose body was found Oct. 25, 2003, floating at the shallow edge of Lower Herring Lake at Watervale Resort, about 40 miles southwest of Traverse City.
