Brett, a reader, sent me the incredible blurb below, from the Lansing State Journal (1/18/08). Please read it and tell me if I’m missing something.
“Dontrel Marquis Birge, 18, 2000 block of Stirling, Lansing, seducing an unmarried woman, 120 days in jail, two days credit, 30 months probation, maintain legitimate employment, comply with DNA testing, no indirect or direct verbal/written/electronic/physical contact with victim, $300 supervision fee, $250 attorney fee, $60 state cost, $60 to Victims Fund.”
As an aside, the “offender” here is obviously black and I suspect that the “victim” is white.
“Seducing an Unmarried Woman” is a crime? Can anybody make sense of this? Perhaps this was a plea bargain of some kind?
