GRAND RAPIDS TOWNSHIP, Mich.
A 73-year-old Grand Rapids-area man is headed to trial in the death of his longtime wife.
Agostino Comella of Byron Township waived a probable cause hearing Monday and will be tried on a second-degree murder charge.
Authorities tell The Grand Rapids Press Comella became increasingly frustrated by caring for his dementia-stricken wife, 70-year-old Ella May Comella, and pushed her, causing her head to strike either a wall or a ceramic tile floor last month.
WOOD-TV reports Agostino Comella's lawyer asked for a reduction in bond, but the prosecutor fought that request Monday. He remained jailed on $500,000 bond.

We recognize this is not an exhaustive portrayal of all deaths resulting from intimate violence.) When is society going to realize intimate violence makes victims of us all?
