The trial of Justin Bembeneck is now in the hands of the jury after three days of testimony and evidence. Leelanau County Prosecuting Attorney Joseph Hubbell and William Burdette, Bembeneck’s court-appointed attorney, were expected to make their closing arguments in the case Tuesday. Bembeneck, 34, of Interlochen and Bailey Rosinski, 25, of Cedar are charged with aiding and abetting; assault with intent to murder; armed robbery; assault with the intent to commit armed robbery; first-degree home invasion; assault with a dangerous weapon; and aiding and abetting — charges which stem from an incident at the home of Francis and Helen Rosinski on Jan. 10. *** Saturday was a first in Leelanau County prep sports. There were three teams playing on the same day at separate locations across the state. Leland volleyball traveled to Battle Creek in a rematch of the 2018 finals against Mendon. An hour later, the Suttons Bay Norsemen were at Marquette’s Superior Dome to play in the eight-man Division 1 football finale against Colon. And Glen Lake traveled to Clare to face Montague in the Division 6 semi-final.
