  In their written stipulation to adjourn the trial, attorneys for Nessel and Olson  they had been meeting since the motion hearing ended in June. "Experts for both sides have been meeting," it said. "Additional discovery is being exchanged and the parties are proceeding closer to a resolution of critical issues in this case." The discovery issues include discs of information that had not been delivered to defense attorneys and "are not the fault of either party as well as the additional discovery that has come to light since June 2023."

  Rodway and Olson have been held without bond since they were arrested late last year. During a hearing in late June, Manley demanded a speedy trial for Olson and argued they had new information casting doubt about the GPS location data police used to place Olson in the general area of the body. He also said a boot print found in the snow near Yang's body matched a boot worn by a local man who was cleared as a suspect by police. That evidence was not presented at the prelimianry exam, he said.

Rodway and Thomas Olson of Grand Blanc Township have both been charged in the November 2018 killing of hunter Chong Yang at Bath Township's Rose Lake State Game Area in Bath Township.
