GROSSE POINTE FARMS, Mich. (AP) - A handyman charged with attempted murder in the stabbing of a wealthy interior designer in suburban Detroit is getting a competency examination.
Police say 49-year-old David Corzilius of Warren admitted a role in the stabbing in Grosse Pointe Farms but says he was upset because the victim, Daniel Clancy, touched his buttocks the previous day.
The Wayne County prosecutor’s office says Corzilius on Wednesday was referred for competency and criminal responsibility evaluations. He’s jailed on $1 million bond and returns to court June. 8.
Corzilius told police he had shoveled snow for the 69-year-old Clancy a day before the March 6 stabbing.
Corzilius is charged with attempted murder, armed robbery and home invasion. Defense attorney Tim Doty has said Corzilius has a history of drug problems and mental health issues.
