9/2/14 - A Livingston County District Court judge has sentenced an inmate of the Woodland Correctional Facility in Green Oak Township to jail time already served on a reduced charge. 34-year-old Eddie Deans Jr. had been charged with assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder. But after viewing a videotape of the incident, 53rd District Judge Carol Sue Reader reduced the charge to aggravated assault. Court records show Deans pleaded guilty to the reduced charge during a recent hearing and was sentenced to one day of jail time already served. The case is now considered closed. Authorities said Deans attacked another inmate in December of 2012 and broke his jaw. Heâs currently serving a 12 to 50 year sentence for 2nd degree murder in December of 1995. (JK)
