8/23/14 - The exact same sentence has been handed down again for a Livingston County woman who went to prison for operating a meth lab. Ray Lynn Dennis of Fowlerville was sentenced last November to a prison term of 13 to 30 years after pleading guilty to delivering methamphetamine and operating a meth lab in Iosco Township. She later sought to withdraw that plea, which was denied. However, the court granted her motion to be re-sentenced and correct the jail credit she received. Her new sentence, the same 13 to 30 years, was again handed down by Livingston County Judge Michael Hatty but she will receive credit for 355 days served. Last year, after entering her plea, Dennis used red Kool-Aid to pretend she was bleeding and having pregnancy complications. Deputies took her to the hospital, but a doctor concluded she was not bleeding and had been faking distress. Livingston County Sheriff Bob Bezotte said that Dennis had planned to use the hospital visit as a way to escape. (JM)
