The murder case against Joseph T. Reiner will finally move to Macomb County Circuit Court more than a year after the alleged crime was committed.
Almost one year to the day of the crime, the murder case against a Fraser man accused of brutally stabbing a Macomb Township woman will move into circuit court. Initially facing counts of felony home invasion and assault with intent to commit murder, the charges against Joseph T. Reiner, 28, were upgraded to murder in December 2011 following the death of the victim, 69-year-old Joann Eisenhardt. Although DNA evidence has failed to link Reiner to Eisenhardt–as Macomb County prosecutors had hoped–the murder charge against him will stand based on Macomb County Medical Examiner Dr. Daniel Spitz's testimony Wednesday in 41A District Court. Spitz testified that the double stabbing Eisenhardt suffered Feb. 23, 2011, did contribute to her death in…

Pending the results of the Macomb County medical examiner's autopsy report, Joseph T. Reiner could face a felony murder charge in December. Reiner is the suspect in the Feb. 23 stabbing of a Macomb Township woman.
When stabbing suspect Joseph T. Reiner, 27, appeared in 41A District Court Wednesday, members of the courtroom found it hard to ignore Reiner's newest facial features, namely two tattooed devil horns on his forehead. "It's surprising to me," said prosecuting attorney William Cataldo. "He definitely chose to appear in court with devil horns on his forehead ... I've never seen this before, someone try to create the persona of evil. It presents a negative appearance." Reiner, who is currently facing charges of home invasion and attempted murder stemming from the Feb. 23 stabbing of a Macomb Township woman, could soon find his charges upgraded to felony murder. With the Sept. 20 death of the victim, Joanne Eisenhardt, 69, Cataldo is awaiting …
