Judge Denies Defense Motions in Murder Case
A St. Clair County judge on Friday denied two defense motions in the Matthew Maison murder case. Maurice Houle’s attorney sought to dismiss the murder charge and block evidence from an ’18 search, but the court rejected both. The ruling follows a plea deal by Houle’s ex, Amanda Maison, who admitted to second-degree murder and covering up abuse. Prosecutors say evidence, including injuries and blood on a pillow, shows Matthew’s death in Port Huron Township was not accidental. Houle’s next hearings are in December and February, with felony murder carrying up to life in prison.
