Morley said he had expected the additional charges and is hopeful they will be the last.  "Now it's time to start the legal work," he said.  Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton did not immediately return a call seeking comment Monday. An attorney in his office confirmed the additional five charges.  Morley is representing Abuelazam together with Edwar Zeineh, who said over the weekend he had been provided with very little pretrial evidence. Morley said the defense team was given five discs of discovery evidence Monday.  "I've not seen a murder weapon, not seen evidence of DNA [linking Abuelazam to the crimes], not seen any evidence of motive," Zeineh had said.  "While I hold the police and prosecutor in high regard, I'm concerned I'm not getting all the evidence police have. It's slow coming. I would have expected more by now," he added.  Abuelazam is trying to help with his own defense.  "His spirits are high, he has confidence in his counsel, and the American judicial system," Zeineh said.  Abuelazam has been able to talk with his mother, who lives in Israel.  "After that conversation, he now has a sense of strength and courage," Zeineh said.  Abuelazam was arrested August 11 at Atlanta, Georgia's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. He was trying to board a flight to Israel when he was taken into custody, police said.  If convicted in Michigan, Abuelazam could face life in prison without parole. The state does not have the death penalty.  Authorities had Abuelazam in custody twice in a two-week stretch, both within hours of when stabbings were reported, but he was released. Police said he had not been linked to the attacks at the time.  Abuelazam was arrested August 5 after a traffic stop and July 29 for allegedly providing alcohol to a minor. He was fined $125 in July.  In the traffic stop arrest, in Arlington, Virginia, police arrested Abuelazam after learning he had an outstanding warrant for assault. A knife and hammer were found in his car.
