In court yesterday, Judge Alexander passed down the decision, and set a court examination date for Friday at 10:30 a.m. ASSISTANT Prosecutor David Lady has indicated that his office expects a plea of insanity from the defense. If such a defense is taken, Aparicio will have to be bound over to Circuit Court so that he could be sent to the Center for Forensic Psychiatry at Ypsilanti State Hospital for a 30-day examination period. Despite the testimony of Officer Jinkerson at the arraignment proceedings, the police and University Hospital are at odds over the reason for the argument which directly led to the shooting and Koos' death. Officials at the hospital's information service say Koos and Aparicio were getting along well, and because of the nature of their jobs there was no reason for Aparicio to feel his employment was threatened by Koos. But police are convinced that Aparicio was for some reason angry at Koos and felt intimidated by him. "There isn't any question that there was a dispute about working con- ditions," said Ann Arbor police chief Walter Krasny.
