Defense attorneys for two of three men charged with manslaughter after a killing in Warren say the case should be dismissed after the Macomb County medical examiner took the rare action to remove homicide as the manner of death.

Medical Examiner Dr. Daniel Spitz initially ruled the death of Kenneth “Kenny” Klingler, 24, of Auburn Hills, as caused by another person.

Review the evidence

After viewing related video of the incident Spitz changed the manner of death in January to “indeterminate.”

Video shows Klinger could have been run over by one vehicle, and possibly as many as three, as he laid on Mound Road in Warren.

 

Attorney Michael Komorn, representing co-defendant Chris Twarowski, agreed charges should be dropped and blamed prosecutors and Warren police officials for initially presenting a “false narrative” of the incident to the public and Klingler’s family.

It’s a huge disservice to the victim’s family by suggesting this false narrative, that they beat him and left him to die,” he said.

Three men remain charged with involuntary manslaughter, punishable by up to 15 years in prison.

“I’m very pleased Dr. Spitz was willing to take a second look at this … and had an honest change of mind,” said Robbie Lang, attorney for defendant Christopher Zehnpfennig. But, “I am just shocked why this case continues and has not been dismissed.”

It’s been unfair to the defendants as they all have had trouble getting jobs while the charges are pending, the attorneys said.

Zehnpfennig and Twarowski, both 23 at the time of the incident, reside in Warren. Their co-defendant is Nathan Thomas Domagalski, 25 at the time, of Hazel Park. The trio’s preliminary examination scheduled for last Friday in 37th District Court in Warren was adjourned after Spitz’s amended report was disclosed.

A new date was set for March 25, 2020.
