Judge tosses Davontae Sanford murder charges, but urges probe for truth
The Wayne County Circuit judge who released Davontae Sanford officially dismissed his murder charges today, but says “significant confusion” in the original investigation into who killed four people in 2007 requires a new, independent examination.
“The confusion needs to be clarified, facts need to be accounted for and the unanswered questions investigated to properly resolve this matter under law to render a just result for the four deceased victims,” Judge Brian Sullivan wrote in an opinion released today. “The facts need to be discovered through professional unbiased investigation to substantive conclusions, legal and factual, wherever they lead, and to whoever may be implicated.”
