@inmyhumbleopinion - searched for a sentencing - but only coming up with old articles - do you have better luck?

TIA! :)
 
Looks like he was only going to be sentenced for the murder charge - 2 other charges have a next court date.
I searched but could not find anything on his sentencing - @inmyhumbleopinion - anything in the court site about this? Also the time of the other 2 charges court date? TIA!

Looks like his sentencing "might" have been moved. I can not access the Wayne County court site - just the jail site & it doesn't say "what" the hearing is about.

Anyone reading here - can you access the court site? It seems my go-to person has disappeared - Holidays & all - TIA if anyone can find out IF this is Gibson new sentencing date!

Tried to find recent articles on the sentencing - but nothing coming up for me over here. Have not seen @inmyhumbleopinion lately -

Anyone else reading here - can you access Michigan Wayne County court site? His case # is 21-000456-02 for murder & child abuse & #21-000461-01 for James Edward Gibson.

And I see he still has the assault charge - which is case #21-000460-01 -

TIA if you can! :)
 
@BetteDavisEyes - I do not know if you have been following this case out of Michigan - but you are the only one that I can think of that might be able to find an article - local I would think - on what sentencing James Gibson received on 1/20/23?
TIA if you can! :)
 
Well - he is no longer in the jail site, and of course, I can not access the Court site to see what happened to him.

@tlcya - I see you liked one of the posts - can you access Wayne County Court site?
Unfortunately the link I have does not work. I am asking you as it seems @inmyhumbleopinion has disappeared...

TIA if you can help me! :)

Thanks for thinking of me. I haven't been following many cases lately because I'm getting ready to leave on vacation tomorrow. Looks like others found recent updates on the case. Many resourceful peeps on Websleuths :)

Thank you the court info! :) But unfortunately it doesn't say what his sentence was....

but again - thank you for checking! ;)
 
@tlcya - if you click on the last entry in the court site - where it says Order of Judgement & Sentence/MDOC - does it give years on sentencing? It won't let me access that. TIA!

no, any blue link I attempted to open, including that one, was basically a blank page containing no info. I am thinking perhaps only registered attorney can access those linked documents

Okay - thanks for checking on that.
I searched again - nothing on MSM about it...
 
Well - still not finding anything about Gibson's sentencing....
