The two men have been charged in connection with the brutal attack on Cipriano's family in Farmington Hills.
Tucker Cipriano, 19, and Mitchell Young, 21, charged in the deadly April 16 attack on Cipriano's family, will be back in Sixth Circuit Court in Pontiac Tuesday, 1:30 p.m., for a pretrial examination.
Both to charges of first-degree, premeditated murder, attempted murder and armed robbery, in connection with the April 16 murder of Tucker's father, Bob Cipriano, and attacks that critically injured his mother, Rose, and brother Salvatore, 17, in their Farmington Hills home.
Tucker Cipriano’s attorney, Mitchell Ribitwer, requested that his client undergo a competency exam to determine whether long-term drug use could have affected his client's mental state. Young's attorney Michael McCarthy said after the June 19 arraignment that he plans to request a separate trial for his client.
