(CBS) FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. - Tucker Cipriano and Mitchell Young, accused in a baseball attack that killed Cipriano's father and critically injured his mother and brother, were expected to be arraigned Tuesday.

According to CBS Detroit, a judge earlier this month ordered the 19-year-old Cipriano and 20-year-old Young to stand trial. The two face life in prison if convicted on charges of first-degree premeditated murder, first-degree felony murder, assault with intent to murder and armed robbery.

The April 16 attack in Farmington Hills shocked the community because of the extreme violence and the arrest of a family member. It also contributed to a crackdown on the sale of so-called synthetic marijuana. A witness said the 19-year-old Cipriano smoked it before the attack.

Cipriano has a history of drug problems. Police said he incriminated himself after his arrest.

He looks so calm in all photos of him in court, his eyes are cold and he shows no emotion neither in court or police interrogations. He wouldve killed even his little sister to get what he wants. Thats a sign of a psychopath as well. Drugs are not to blame in this case, this guys a psychopath.; Reply to this comment
