Michigan Supreme Court

People v. Black

July 30, 2026

Summary

The Michigan Supreme Court held that a trial court may compel a defendant to submit to a prosecution‑ordered psychological examination as a condition for the defendant to introduce his own expert psychological evidence at a Miller hearing, and that any evidence obtained from such an examination is admissible only for rebuttal, not for the prosecution’s case‑in‑chief. The Court affirmed the Court of Appeals decision and remanded for further proceedings consistent with this holding.
