A man was recently sentenced to 15 to 25 years in prison on drug and gun charges after charges related to the accusation that he set his girlfriend in 2022 were dismissed.

Devonne Marsh, 45, who remains a probation absconder from Macomb County Circuit Court, was sentenced last Friday by Wayne County Circuit Judge Cynthia Stephens in Detroit to 10 to 20 years for delivery or manufacture of less than 50 grams of a cocaine and a mandatory consecutive 5-year term for second offense felony firearm.

Nine of the original 11 charges — including attempted murder and assault off a pregnant individual — were dismissed by the judge on request of Wayne County prosecutors as part of a plea deal between the prosecution and defense.

Marsh was accused in January 2022 of pouring light fluid on Tanya Prichard, who was pregnant with twins, and setting her on fire in their home on Packard Street in the area of Van Dyke and Seven Mile Road in Detroit, and letting her suffer for four days before she received medical attention.

Marsh’s attorney, Jabari Prempeh, said Prichard admitted she set herself on fire. Prichard died last year at 38 and is survived by six children, according to a report on WJBK-TV, aka “Fox 2 Detroit.” One of two twins who survived has been adopted.

But Prichard’s sister, Trisha Mullin, criticized the dismissal of the assault-related charges and in the report asked the state Attorney General’s Office or another prosecutor’s office to prosecute the dismissed offenses.

“He has not been charged with what he did to his two biological twins that were in her belly and the four long days he neglected any care,” Mullin said outside the courtroom, in the report. “I have the rest of my life to fight for justice and I’m not going anywhere.”

She called her sister and “incredible person” and a “fighter.”

“She fought for three years very, very hard and very, very long, but 90% of her body was burnt,” Mullin said.

Maria Miller, spokeswoman for Wayne County Prosectuor Kym Worthy, said, “An unfortunate circumstance for the plea was that the victim passed away from a drug overdose and would not be available for trial. The family was advised of the agreement before the plea.”

Miller added that prosecutors also believe Prichard set herselff on fire.

Miller noted the sentence on the drug charge was part of a sentencing deal that went above the sentencing guideline range for it.

Prempeh said the sentence on the drug charge was relatively high due to Marsh’s prior convictions and their effect on the sentencing guidelines. In addition, his habitual status elevated the maximum sentence from 20 to 45 years, though the judge placed a 20-year cap on the term.

“It wasn’t excessive in terms of the totality of the circumstances and his priors,” Prempeh said.

At the time he was charged, Marsh was an absconder from probation in two Macomb County cases after he failed to show up for a 2020 probation-violation hearing on two 2019 drug cases in Warren, according to court records. In those cases, he pleaded guilty in September 2019 to two counts of delivery or manufacture of less than 50 grams of heroin and two counts of delivery or manufacture of less than 50 grams of cocaine, both in front of Macomb Circuit Judge Richard Caretti, records say. He was sentenced in October 2019 to two years probation and time served — 146 days — in the county jail.

Marsh now faces June 5 probation violation hearing in front of Caretti.

Marsh has three prior convictions for attempted delivery or manufacture of less than 50 grams of cocaine and one conviction for delivery or manufacture of less than 25 grams of cocaine, as well as assault with a dangerous weapon and felony firearm possession, all in Wayne County, according to Michigan Department of Corrections records.
