Eric James Giacobone, 29, of Hillsdale, posted bond for his pretrial release from the Hillsdale County Jail shortly after his release. Giacobone’s name did not appear in the Hillsdale County Sheriff’s daily arrest log June 4 and Hillsdale County Sheriff Scott Hodshire said he did not know why. Hillsdale County Prosecuting Attorney Neal Brady said he has asked Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel’s office to appoint a special prosecutor to the case in order to avoid any signs of impropriety but that he had not yet heard back as to when a special prosecutor would be assigned.
