....for burning man's groin

PONTIAC, Mich. – A teenager in suburban Detroit has apologized for lighting a man's pants on fire and causing a third-degree burn to the man's groin. Eighteen-year-old Tyler Quick spoke Tuesday before the judge sentenced him to probation. He pleaded guilty last month to assault with intent to commit great bodily harm less than murder.

Police say Quick attended a party at the Ferndale home of a 51-year-old man, who passed out during the party.

The Detroit Free Press reports Quick told the judge he painted the man's face with makeup, then put a lit candle on the man's pants to help illuminate his work.

If Quick successfully completes probation, the conviction may be removed from his record.

what some people won't do for fun I guess

was he under 18 at the time of the incident

if not it should not be removed imo

If this occured at a party I'm sure he didn't come up with that bright idea all on his lonesome. It's amazin what a group of teenage boys will do for "fun".

18 is still considered youthful offender in most courts, what's he gonna have a criminal record for the rest of his life? Probation, whatever they want you to do, then if you stay outta trouble you get your life back that seems fair.

i feel the victim should have some say in this issue

(but of course we do not have all the facts)

and

if alcohol was involved who ids the one that supplied it should also be in the mix
