PONTIAC -- Nathaniel Abraham, one of Michigan's youngest convicted killers, was ordered to stand trial Wednesday on felony drug charges in Oakland Circuit Court.

Abraham was arrested May 30 in Pontiac for allegedly possessing 254 pills of the street drug Ecstasy outside a Pontiac gas station.

On Wednesday, 50th District Court Judge Michael Martinez heard testimony from police officers who said Abraham threw a purple Crown Royal bag into the trunk of his car as they approached him. Officers testified they examined that bag and found the pills, which later tested positive for Ecstasy.

Abraham's attorney, Byron Pitts, told the judge all the officers actually witnessed was a handshake between Abraham and another man moments earlier, and that police had no probable cause to open the bag or search Abraham's red Cadillac.

Martinez denied Pitts' request to dismiss the case, which is now headed to circuit court for arraignment. No date has been set.

Abraham remains free on bond but is required to wear a GPS tether and is confined to his mother's home other than going to church on Sundays.

Pitts said Wednesday he does not expect his client to go to prison.

I think Pitts is out of his ever loving mind.
