A St. Clair County judge on Monday refused to remove the prosecutor from the case of Maurice Houle — the man accused of killing 3-year-old Matthew Maison in Port Huron Township back in ’18. Houle’s attorney wanted Prosecutor Joshua Sparling off the case, claiming he might need to call him as a witness. But Judge Cynthia Lane ruled other officers could testify about Houle’s police questioning. The trial is now set for June 23rd in Port Huron, with a plea hearing planned for June 15th. Houle faces felony murder and resisting charges.
