A Port Huron woman accused of killing her boyfriend will stand trial after a St. Clair County judge ruled there is enough evidence to proceed.

Prosecutors presented Goodall’s own 911 call admitting she shot Hoyt, as well as police testimony and an autopsy confirming homicide. Goodall faces open murder and felony firearm charges that could lead to life in prison. No trial date has been set.
