Enlightened discussions on MLive

The following is the mind boggling, down in the gutter, unsubstantiated bull that counts for the "new" journalism. My spellchecker went crazy and I've left all the misspellings as they naturally occurred. This discussion was in relation to the very well done story about an assistant prosecutor who was caught in a dalliance with a person he prosecuted for embezzlement:

Here's the link to the story, I've posted a copy of the comments below:

Yea right - he was going there to talk to her. What a bunch of BS. Since she has an attorney it is probably a violation of court rules for him to even talk to her.

Seems to me that Bacon shouldn't be allowed to work with any money. And then the assitant prosecutor. They both need to be put away for a while. The lady who embezzled from her bowling league got more time and it was less money. Bacon's embezzlement took away from childrens education. She should of gotten more time. And then the attempted suicide was all an act.Shame on them both. Now we know why she wasn't punished to the fullest extend of the law.

You know someone is guilty when they hire one of the Manleys to defend them.
Have any of their clients ever gotten off?

CoachLCarr:
Actually, several of them. Here's one example that I know of:A guy in Lapeer County shot and killed a mentally ill man (unarmed and outside a locked home) he was charged with manslaughter and Mike Manley got him acquitted. It was a great performance by a skilled attorney. I know, I watched him.There are many other examples. My wife knows, if I am ever in trouble, call Mike Manley.

Dana has a history of using sex to get what she wants. When my children were in band in Montrose Dana was married but involved with the young band director so she could work with the colorguard. Complaints to the school board about the activity were ignored for a long time until they finally fired band director. Dana has always walked away unscathed. Hopefully the judge will take into account Dana's history and not go lightly this time.

Is this really a story? If its a conflict of interest fire the Assistant Prosecutor and put Ms. Bacon back in jail. The same treatment any other criminal would get but for some reason the Sheriff's department is out targeting a guy for getting some action when I do believe that their is a lot of real crime in Flint that they could be spending their time on! And as for the Manley's, they are the best in the business! A long track record of defending the undefendable and winning! They are two of the top Defense Attorneys in the state for a reason. And yes, they would be my only choice if I ever got in trouble!

not sure about this.. you could say he was 'makin bacon.' two consenting adults 'getting it on.' i wonder if they had a marvin gay cassette playing on the night stand next to the king-sized bed. MOTEL 6, even i could do better than MOTEL 6. after all, she still has the 'cheese' from her embezzlement, does'nt she? prosecutor banging defendent? what's wrong with that? don't prosecutors always try to F*** the defendent?

Someone help me on this, I am not getting it out of the story.Is Bacon still in jail and on work release?Or has she served her sentance and on probation?
If she is on work release, are you allowed to roam the county and check into motels?
I thought work release way just what it says, "released from jail to work, then back to jail, not Motel 6!"
I like "Bring home the Bacon" line or you could add, "Making Bacon"

I don't think you have all of your facts right. First off, dana never had anything to do with the band or colorguard in montrose. By being "involved with the young band director so she could work with the colorguard." never happened. I know this because I was a member of the colorguard and the winterguard. They are two totally diferent sports. The marching band was discontinued before she took over the winterguard. A group of us went to her and asked for her to teach us. We knew she was a great coach because of her history with Chesaning. We wanted to win and she helped us win State Championships.
I think its terrible what she did and I am disapointed. I believe that she should be punished for what she did, just as anyone else would.

nomore522, You are dearly mistaken, or maybe it is a time frame difference we are talking about. Ms Bacon worked with the flute & piccolo section at the time, causing some members quit. She also worked with the colorguard occasionally during that time but it was not full time. Believe me I have my facts straight as I was as involved as Ms Bacon at the time and I along with other parents took our complaints to the band boosters. When the boosters finally realized we were not just blowing smoke, they dealt with the school board in getting the band director fired & then Ms Bacon was done with the marching band and colorguard. My guess is you & I are talking about two different time frames.
