Following the conclusion of a preliminary hearing, a 54A District Court judge has ordered Timothy Galbraith and Trisha Bos to stand trial in Ingham County Circuit Court. The pair face multiple felony counts related to the 2025 killings of Lance Pollo and Raequan Brown.
Why it matters
The ruling marks a critical procedural step in the prosecution of a double homicide case that spanned several locations, including South Francis and South Foster Avenues. While the case moves forward, the court dismissed two specific charges regarding body mutilation against both defendants.
Timothy Galbraith, 45, faces 10 felony counts, while Trisha Bos, 49, faces four felony charges. The court process now advances to the Ingham County Circuit Court following the preliminary hearing's conclusion.

The court's decision confirms that the prosecution presented enough evidence to move the case beyond the preliminary phase. As the trial process begins, the focus will shift to the formal presentation of evidence in the circuit court.
