Area attorneys are reacting to one of their peers possibly being charged with a criminal countfor allegedly trying to deceive a judge in defending an admitted killer. Bay City attorney Edward M. Czuprynski could soon face a misdemeanor charge of criminal contempt, punishable by up to 93 days in jail and/or a $7,500 fine. Bay County Circuit Judge Joseph K. Sheeran suggested the charge Tuesday during a hearing for accused killer Jeffrey A. Julian II, represented by Czuprynski. Julian, 22, is charged with open murder and removing a dead body in the Aug. 21, 2010, death of Lynn Spicer, his live-in girlfriend. During the June trial of his younger brother, Craig Julian, Jeff Julian testified in graphic detail how he strangled Spicer. Craig Julian, 20, was found guilty of first-degree murder for his part in planning Spicer’s death and concealing her body and is serving life in prison without the possibility of parole.
