Detroit: Relatives of Defendants Who Nearly Beat White Driver To Death Laugh In Court As Prosecution Describes Attack…



Where are our famous race baiters with their outrage about this obvious hate crime based on race?


Four men will stand trial in the beating of Clinton Township motorist Steven Utash, following a raucous hearing Monday in which some courtroom onlookers blurted objections and laughed at a description of the near-deadly thrashing, and a defendant made an obscene gesture to a photographer.

Latrez Cummings, 19; James Davis, 24; and Wonzey Saffold, 30, were bound over for trial on charges of assault with intent to commit murder. A fourth defendant, 17-year-old Bruce Wimbush, waived his right to a preliminary exam during the hearing in 36th District Court and will face a trial.

Max Mohr, Utash’s brother-in-law, said he was disgusted by the courtroom behavior.

“Why would you laugh about someone being in the hospital?” Mohr said. “To make a mockery in the courtroom … what can you do?”

The four allegedly were part of the group that beat Utash on April 2, when he left his truck to check on a boy he hit after the 10-year-old darted into the truck’s path.

A weapons charge against Saffold was added after witnesses said he brandished a gun during the incident.

All the defendants are in jail in lieu of $500,000 bond.

During Monday’s hearing court deputies admonished onlookers for talking. One man was removed from the courtroom.

Saffold made an obscene gesture to a photographer.

A group whose members described themselves as relatives of the defendants laughed when Assistant Wayne County Prosecutor Lisa Lindsey read aloud Saffold’s description of how the mob kicked and punched Utash.

Now Machiavelli will add one to his count.

When did the courts start allowing suspects on trial to bring their pets with them?

Quote:As of Monday afternoon, more than $180,000 had been raised online for Utash’s medical bills. He has no medical insurance.

Obama should enroll him in free Obamacare.

Hek, he will state the case why they should be set free and charges dropped.

They know exactly what they are doing, because courtroom antics like this actually increase their reputation within the local 'hood.

From what I read, the man hit a kid, stopped and checked on the kid, and that's when he was jumped.

I understand how upset people can get by a child being ran over, but that's ridiculous.

Ridiculous, hell it's a hate crime in any other situation except black on anyone else.

Blacks attacking white people is common, not so much the other way.
The poverty pimps can't make any money on this so of course you wont here a peep from them.

Jackson and Sharpton would only show up if the white guy defended himself and shot the dogs attacking him.

Looking into Benghazi?

But seriously, the African-American guy on the local sports talk station has denounced the people in the courtroom as well as the guys who did the beating...and has called it a racially based incident.

For people vocal that these guys shouldn't get involved in every local incident across the country, you sure seem to want them involved quite a bit.

Just like they were involved in the Joe Horn or Zimmerman incident. Remember "If I had a son" or "Beer summit". Opps that was Zero getting involved as a race baiting huckster stealing Jesse and Al's thunder.

The African-American guy on the local sports talk station doesn't carry the weight or have the audience that JJ, AS, and BHO do. But when talking about this situation, any decent person of any color should be shocked at what those boys did to that old man.

I've actually been a bit surprised at how much attention this has been given in the Detroit media and, to their credit, local black leaders in the city have publicly condemned it. I was expecting more of a usual sweep-under-rug sort of thing.

Aside from a once-per-year Tigers or Red Wings game, or to zoom past on I-75 to get somewhere else on the other side of town, I just avoid the city altogether.

Did the police arrest the suspects?

To answer the OP, Washington, New York, and Washington, respectively, I think.

With all due respect...you don't listen to sports talk radio in Detroit...lol

And the gentlemen I'm referring to is also a sports columnist for the local paper.

I was also surprised by the number of stories in the local Detroit news. Not sure how that compares to other incidents though (I don't live there but have been reading about this incident). But, there has been more stories than I would have expected for the area.

I have friends that live 'around Detroit'. They work in the city and retreat after dark. I've been a few times, and it is a hell-hole unfortunately.
