Salvatore and Tanner Cipriano, students from Detroit Catholic Central High School in Novi, lost their father, Robert Cipriano, when he was killed last year.
A 5k fun run and walk that last year raised more than $60,000 for the children of Robert Cipriano returns June 7 to the Farmington Family YMCA. The inaugural Cipriano Classic in 2012 far exceeded organizers' expectations, drawing more than 2,200 participants. "We were truly astounded by last year's participation. The outpouring of support from the Farmington community and beyond exceeded all expectations," event co-chair Jenny Birmelin said. "With more time to plan this year, we are looking forward to seeing everyone once again and uniting the community in support of the Cipriano family." Robert was killed, and his wife, Rose, and son, Salvatore, were seriously injured in an attack on April 16, 2012. Salvatore's twin brother, Tanner, …

A pre-trial for Tucker Cipriano and Mitchell Young was held in the judge's chambers Tuesday afternoon, according to media reports.

Attorney Mitchell Ribitwer argued that statements the teen made to police in the days after a brutal attack on his family should be suppressed.
Oakland County Circuit Court Judge Shalina Kumar ruled late Thursday that statements made by Tucker Cipriano in the days following a brutal attack on his family will remain in evidence. During a hearing broadcast live on WDIV-TV's website, Cipriano's attorney Mitchell Ribitwer asked that Kumar suppress what the 19-year-old said following the murder of his father, Robert, and attacks on his mother, Rose, and brother, Salvatore, in their Farmington Hills home on April 16. Another brother, Tanner, and sister, Isabella, escaped unharmed. During about three hours of testimony, during which Tucker Cipriano testified, Ribitwer pointed to the teen's diagnoses of learning disabilities and emotional impairments as possibly limiting his ability to …

Facing felony charges connected to the murder of his father and attacks on his mother and brother, Tucker Cipriano will be back in court Dec. 19.
An Oct. 31 evidentiary hearing in the case against Tucker Cipriano, who is accused in a deadly attack on his family, has been moved to December. Cipriano was last in court Sept. 25, when Sixth Circuit Court Judge Shalinda Kumar ruled he is competent to stand trial. At the time, his attorney Mitchell Ribitwer said a determination on whether Cipriano was sane at the time of the attack would take another month. Kumar ruled on Sept. 26 that Tucker Cipriano and Mitchell Young would have a joint trial, with separate juries, on felony charges related to the April 16 death of Robert Cipriano, Tucker's father, and severe injuries to his mother, Rose, and brother, Salvatore. During the postponed hearing, Ribitwer was expected to argue to suppress…

Mitchell Young's defense attorney asked the court to throw out a statement made hours after the April attack on the Cipriano family.
A request by Mitchell Young's attorney to throw out a statement Young made while in the hospital hours after the April attack on the Cipriano family was denied in circuit court today. Young, 21, and friend Tucker Cipriano, 19, face felony charges related to the April 16 attack in the Cipriano home, which resulted in the death of Robert Cipriano, Tucker's father, and severe injuries to his mother, Rose, and brother, Salvatore. Defense attorney Michael McCarthy asked the court to suppress Young's statement, arguing that he was in the hospital with an injured jaw, and it's possible Young had a small seizure before talking to the police. McCarthy also said police did not record the interview. Oakland County Circuit Court Judge Shalina Kumar …
The two face felony charges in an April attack that killed Robert Cipriano and seriously injured Rose and Salvatore Cipriano.
Tucker Cipriano and Mitchell Young will be tried together, but with separate juries, Oakland County Circuit Court Judge Shalina Kumar ruled today. Cipriano, 19, and Young, 21, face charges related to the April 16 attack in the Cipriano home, which resulted in the death of Robert Cipriano, Tucker's father, and severe injuries to his mother, Rose, and brother, Salvatore. Defense attorney Michael McCarthy asked Kumar if the two could have separate trials, arguing that the case has become known as the "Cipriano Case" and that the notoriety that comes with it could cause Young to have an unfair trial. Prosecuting Attorney John Skrzynski argued that Young will receive attention even if tried separately, pointing out that several media outlets …

A forensic psychologist who submitted the report indicated that her opinion on whether Cipriano was sane at the time of the April 16 attack on his family will take more time.
Based on a report submitted by a forensic psychologist, Oakland County Circuit Court Judge Shalina Kumar today ruled that Tucker Cipriano, 19, is competent to stand trial on charges related to an April 16 attack on his family.

Mitchell Young, 21, a friend of Tucker Cipriano's, also faces felony charges in connection with the crimes and will be in court Wednesday, when Kumar will hear a motion to hold a separate trial for each …
