DETROIT (Michigan News Source) – Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido is appealing the sentence of 22-year-old Hunter Locke-Hughes in the drowning death of a six-year-old boy with special needs.
Lucido says the seven-and-a-half to 30 year sentence for first-degree child abuse is too lenient.

He says the sentence is 45-months below the sentencing guidelines and needs to “reflect the gravity of the offense.” Terrance Adams was partially blind and had a heart defect and Locke-Hughes held him underwater while bathing him.
