Mistrial declared for Tecumseh inmate accused of murder

A mistrial has been declared for a Tecumseh inmate who pleaded not guilty to murder, in connection with a 2017 prison uprising at Tecumseh’s Maximum Security Prison.

27-year-old Eric Ramos’s case ended after the judge learned that three investigators, who are witnesses to the case, met over the weekend in violation of a court order.

Prosecutors are deciding whether to refile charges.

Ramos is accused of killing 31-year-old Michael Galindo during a violent outbreak at the state correction institution.
