DETROIT — A young man who participated in a mob attack on a Detroit-area motorist needed a father to "beat the hell" out of him as a kid to discourage him from committing such a crime, a judge said Thursday.
The stunning remarks by Wayne County Judge James Callahan came as he sentenced Latrez Cummings to six months in jail.
In response to the judge's question, Cummings, 19, said his father wasn't around when he was growing up.
Callahan said Cummings needed a dad, "someone to discipline you. Someone to beat the hell out of you when you made a mistake, as opposed to allowing you or encouraging you to do it to somebody else."
Cummings and four others have pleaded guilty to assaulting Steve Utash, who was in a coma for days after the April attack. The mob pounced on him in Detroit when he got out of his pickup truck to help a 10-year-old boy who had stepped in front of his vehicle.

I’m guessing it was part of a plea deal.
Sounds like a pretty decent judge. I like the fact that he didn’t retreat and pointed out that he himself didn’t mention race.
In this case it was an armed nurse who ended the attack on Utash.

Just curious, since you're obviously knowledgable of the law, what was the maximum sentence the judge could have given?

You’re probably right.
If the punk doesn’t straighten out, I hope he gets multiple beatings in jail.
Beatings? More like high fives.

That’s exactly what it is.
6 months for attempted murder? Sounds like the judge needed a beating as well.

Instead, we have black leaders like rev. Jesse Jackson, rev. Al Sharpton, and rev. Jeremiah Wright.
The judge talked tough but gave him 6 months for aggravated assault and attempted murder. That’ll learn him!/sarc
6 months in jail??????????? 5 years maybe, but 6 months??
