Matthew Hughes made a deal and will be sentenced to time served and five years probation.
The man who invaded Marshall’s Clinton Township home in April 2020 pleaded no contest to a reduced charge of second-degree home invasion in exchange for dismissal of charges of first-degree home invasion, malicious destruction of property between $1,000 and $20,000 and assault of a jail employee.
His attorney notes that the deal is beneficial for his client, who will have spent 17 months in the county jail by September 22, when his sentencing is scheduled:
“If he goes to trial and forces Eminem to fly from L.A. and testify, and he gets convicted, he’s going to the join”, Macomb Daily quotes the lawyer. “This way, he has served all of his time in county jail and won’t have to go to (state) prison”.
