In today's newsletter, a judge finds cannibal killer Mark Latunski guilty of first-degree murder, 3D printed homes could help Michigan’s housing shortage, and what the Detroit Lions will look like this week. |
Michigan is full of talent |
We've had quite a few contestants from Michigan on this season of "The Voice". Unfortunately one was eliminated last episode, but another has a good chance of going all the way. Blake Shelton considers him the "Tom Brady" of his team: 15-year old Brayden Lape from Grass Lake. Lape went against a much more experienced performer and came out victorious. Also from entertainment, a bunch of celebrities gathered in Detroit at Motor City Comic Con including Alice Cooper, James ‘Murr’ Murray, and Danny Lloyd.

Weather whiplash ahead: 70 degrees or warmer coming very quickly |
Make some plans for a warmer weekend: Temperatures are predicated to get gradually warmer each day this week, with some cities possibly reaching 75 degrees by Sunday. That's the way it goes: It feels weird to tell you warm temperatures are ahead after there were record snowfall measurements from that very odd October snowstorm. But you know, it's Michigan. FYI: You can always keep an eye on the forecast on our weather page or join our Michigan Weather group on Facebook. |

Judge finds cannibal killer Mark Latunski guilty of first-degree murder |
The ruling: A Shiawassee County judge has found Mark David Latunski, the man who previously admitted to killing and dismembering 25-year-old Kevin Bacon of Swartz Creek, guilty of first-degree murder. Response from the family: No chance for parole. No chance of being out in the public. That’s what Karl Bacon, Kevin Bacon's father, had been praying for ahead of the degree hearing.
More in crime:The Ann Arbor Huron Junior Varsity football team’s season has come to an abrupt end while Ann Arbor police investigate an alleged assault involving four members of the team believed to have taken place on Oct. 3 inside the school’s locker room. |

3D printed home could help Michigan’s housing shortage |
Starting the process: Construction has kicked off on a 3D printed home in Detroit. This is believed to be the first state-funded 3D printed home in Michigan. A possible solution? In recent years, 3D printing has been heralded as a quick, cost-efficient way to build sustainable homes. And full 3D printed home communities are underway in Texas and California.
Also in economy: On average, first dates cost $91 according to a survey from LendingTree. They found nearly one in five Americans are going on less dates because of inflation. |

Speaking of Spooky: Michigan-based American Chillers author Christopher Wright, under the pseudonym Johnathan Rand, visited a Flint elementary Wednesday morning to promote and inspire literacy among youth. Rand taught students the importance of reading and writing skills, and even shared how to do a spooky laugh.
