(OT) Judge Rules Murder Charge Stands Against Deaborn Man In Death Of Soccer Referee

Judge Rules Murder Charge Stands Against Deaborn Man In Death Of Soccer Referee « CBS Detroit

Quote:
DETROIT (WWJ/AP) – A Wayne County District Court judge has denied a request to downgrade a murder charge against a Dearborn man who killed a soccer referee with a single punch.

Bassel Saad’s attorney told Judge Thomas Cameron that the second degree murder charge should be changed to manslaughter because the previous judge assigned to the case abused her discretion and used she used “inflammatory and emotional remarks” stating that Saad would have known the assault would lead to certain death.

APG:

I just now saw this thread. It is great to see that the justice system is taking a hard line against this defendant.
