WOW. 1 year and 5 years probation with credit given for 17 months served while awaiting trial, for patricide in a most heinous manner, and whose victim who then suffered immensely for 6 months until his death.
This judge got it so so wrong.
---------------------------------------
“This is a serious crime that you have been found guilty of. The court does not believe that a child your age knew or understood the consequences of throwing the items at your father or the damage it would cause him,” Judge Valentine said.
The prosecutor, Jason DeSantis, immediately objected, saying the sentence was not proportional or reasonable to the crime the defendant was convicted of. “A person died…horribly.” DeSantis also requested a GPS tether for the duration of her probation, which the judge denied.
Prosecutors had asked the judge to sentence Imirowicz to 7 years. Michigan sentencing guidelines set the sentence between 51 and 85 months, according to the prosecutor.
Judge Valentine noted the objections, but held fast, though she did agree to a mental health assessment and a review in six months.
“I expect you to do good things Ms. Imirowicz…carry on your father’s name,” Judge Valentine concluded.
