Mich. high court to review teen’s life term in ’09 Eastpointe slaying
The Associated Press Published 11:58 AM EDT Apr 7, 2019 Mount Clemens – The Michigan Supreme Court has agreed to review the life sentence of a man who was a teenager when he kidnapped a customer from a sandwich shop in a notorious Detroit-area homicide. Ihab Masalmani twice has been sentenced to the same life term for murder. In 2009, Matt Landry was abducted from a fast-food parking lot in Eastpointe. His body was found in a burned-out Detroit house. Masalmani was 17 at the time. Teens no longer can be given automatic no-parole sentences. Judges must consider many factors, including an offender’s background and potential for rehabilitation. The judge who sentenced Masalmani in 2015 said he had a “terrible” childhood.
