Logan Tulley-Tillman pleads guilty
Logan Tuley-Tillman, 20, pleaded guilty to capturing or distributing an image of an unclothed person and using a computer to commit a crime during a pretrial hearing on Feb. 8 in Washtenaw County Trial Court. Under an agreement with the Washtenaw County Prosecutor's Office, an additional count of capturing or distributing an image of an unclothed person will be dismissed at sentencing.
Worth noting is that he's being sentenced under the Holmes Youthful Trainee Act, which is fortunate for LTT because otherwise
Without the Act affecting the sentence, Swartz said capturing the image is a felony punishable by up to 5 years in prions and a $5,000 fine and using a computer to commit a crime is a felony punishable by up to 7 years in prison and a $5,000 fine.

This is a good outcome for LTT.
I hope the victim is fine with this deal. I have a feeling she was consulted about the deal?

I hear there is no ethics issue with that. Think how much money you could get from their groupies.

Representation of the "protestors" will be challenging as I predict the court will, after pretrial motions, disallow most, if not all, of their expected defenses. I also predict the protesters are unlikely to be satisfied with the court's rulings and their lawyers' explanations. Expect long, dragged out proceedings, defendants terminating several sets of lawyers, and some defendants proceeding pro se (as their own) counsel and convictions. I've represented defendants similarly situated and it can be quite tedious and frustrating, and it will be difficult for their lawyers to win their clients' trust and confidence.
I won't be soliciting representation by mail (I find that distasteful) but would consider if approached and if their was "room" in my caseload.

I'd be sure to get a healthy retainer before taking the "White ISIS" folks on as clients. Because being an unsecured creditor to those defendants will be a losing proposition.

As bad of a situation as this is, it could've escalated into much worse. Luckily, both parties seemed to have handled it maturely.
LTT for admitting his guilt.
Also, the victim for admitting she wasn't completely innocent in what happened, but at the same time being strong enough to not let her personal rights be violated.
I think both will learn and move on with no issues.

Totally agree seven years is way too much time for hiim and for the state to being paying for. To accomplish what? It looks like he has already paid a great price and even if the charges are eventually removed the fact that he is a public figure means the case really never goes away.

Not sure about Michigan, but in many states there is "indeterminate" sentencing so that, for example 7 yrs is the maximum period of incarceration plus parole. When Oregon had indeterminate sentencing, a five year sentence often meant 6 mos followed by 4.5 years parole, during which if you messed up again, you could be returned to prison, then paroled, repeat, for up to five years.
And $5K in legal fees would be well-below market to defend these types of charges for a skilled and experienced private lawyer.

At least he is owning up to his actions instead of trying to plead not guilty, while drawing out what doesn't need to be as difficult a process.

On balance, I think it is bad for society that pretty much all phones have cameras in them now.

And worse that you can now save photos on Snapchat! Lol

We had no camera laws, stomp on someones camera if you saw them at a bar. I can't imagine the divorce rate now. Oh look Petty Officer Dumas just twittered the night at the rock hard cafe.

Interesting that the article says "he has not officially committed to another program." There were reports a couple weeks ago that he had committed to Washington State. Just saw that he'll soon be officially visiting Houston:
Rewind: the photo from earlier of @LoganTillman was from an unofficial visit. He comes to Houston this weekend for official visit

Man, the only post all day and not even football related, much. I'm having withdrawl, how long until something football related happens?
Guess I'll go watch WD's version of the Gator beatdown again and imagine what next years players would do in this game. How did we let Harris escape the pocket on the first play, man that angers me! I need a life.
February 8th, 2016 at 8:24 PM ^
My only comment is that I think we should generally give Harbaugh the benefit of the doubt on matters of player discipline.

5 years in prions is probably equal to a death sentence.

IANAL, but those laws seem overly broad.
If you downloaded a pirated MP3, wouldn't that be using a computer to commit a crime? Would it really be heinous enough to be considered a felony?
Or, say, a naked drunk walks up to a Fleetwood waitress and asks for a side of ranch (actually happened) and tou take a picture and email it to uyour buddies. Would that make you a felon?
It seems really easy to run afoul of those laws.
