Pontiac — A man charged with first-degree murder in the baseball bat beating of his father in April is expected to testify Thursday in Oakland Circuit Court regarding whether statements made to police after his arrest were willing and voluntary, according to his attorney.
Tucker Cipriano, 19, and Mitchell Young, 20, are both charged in the beating death of Cipriano's father, Robert, and assault with intent to murder in the attacks on Robert Cipriano's wife, Rosemary, and son Salvatore, 17, in the April 16 home invasion.
"I want him to discuss his thoughts about what happened after he was arrested," said Mitchell Ribitwer, Cipriano's attorney. "There is a question on how statements were taken from Tucker, whether they were made willinging and voluntarily and also if he was properly advised of his (Miranda) rights. He said he told them he didn't want to talk but they continued the interview anyway. I think it should have stopped then.
