Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Wednesday, Milwaukee County Judge David Swanson in a plea deal agreement sentenced Todd Alan Erickson, 61, to two years in prison and two years of supervision, and sentenced Brandon LaDaniel Turner, 31, to one year in prison and one year probation for the brutal and cold blooded murder of D'Vontaye L. Mitchell, 43, on June 30, 2024. Swanson stayed both their sentences after pleading guilty in a plea agreement, which means that they won't spent one day in prison, unless they violate conditions of their supervision.
Two other convicted men in the murder of Mitchell, Herbert T. Williamson, 53, and Devin W. Johnson-Carson, 21, in a plea agreement pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges for battery and Williamson was sentenced to 10 days in jail, and Johnson-Carson was sentenced to 4 days in jail, but Judge Swanson gave them credit for time served.
Mitchell's family says, that Judge Swanson who is White failed to provide any justice for Mitchell who was Black.
Apparently, Blacks and Whites have a two-tier of justice system in Milwaukee County.
