Mitch's client had been sentenced to 5 1/2 to 25 years in prison for criminal sexual conduct - first degree with the requirement that when he is released from prison he will be required to submit to lifetime electronic monitoring. Mitch appealed this part of his client's sentence by filing a motion to correct an invalid sentence before Oakland County Circuit Judge Leo Bowman, claiming that the monitoring requirement was a violation of the ex post facto clause of the Michigan and United States Constitutions. The Oakland County Prosecutor and Judge Bowman agreed and Mitch's client's judgment of sentence was removed to elimate the requirement of lifetime monitoring. This saved his client (in his 20's) from decades of being monitored and tracked electronically by the state.
