Transgender Troy murderer shouldn't have sentence shortened, state tells Supreme Court
Todd Spangler, October 8, 2013, 5:36 PM

Michigan's solicitor general went before the U.S. Supreme Court today to argue that an appeals court was wrong when it ruled a transgender woman convicted of a murder in Troy in 2000 had an ineffective lawyer and should get a shorter sentence.

John Bursch, who next week will argue the state's position in a key affirmative action case, went before the high court saying the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals erred in deciding that Vonlee Nicole Titlow should either be released or given a 7- to 15-year sentence that she initially agreed to but withdrew after changing lawyers.
