CADILLAC â The twice adjourned prelim examination was finally waived Tuesday by the 57-year-old Buckley man charged with murder last summer.
With the prelim examination waived, Alex Keith Melser will have his case bound over to 28th Circuit Court, but his arraignment in the higher court had not been scheduled as of Tuesday. Wexford County Clerk Alaina Nyman said it likely won't be scheduled until the week of Jan. 18.
Mesler was charged in June with one count of first-degree murder for his connection with an incident on June 29 in Buckley. A habitual offender fourth offense notice also was added to the charge. If convicted, Mesler faces a potential life sentence with no chance of parole.
