Wonzey Saffold, left, and his defense attorney Ray Paige stand before Wayne County Circuit Court Judge James Callahan during Saffold’s sentencing in the beating of Steve Utash, at Frank Murphy Hall of Justice in Detroit, on Monday, July 7, 2014. Saffold and Bruce Winbush pleaded guilty to assault in exchange for having attempted murder charges dropped. Saffold was sentenced Monday in Wayne County Court to serve six years and four months to 10 years in prison. Wimbush was sentenced to three years’ probation. They were among five people who pleaded guilty in the attack. Steve Utash, a tree trimmer from Macomb County, was severely beaten after he got out of his pickup to check on a 10-year-old boy who had darted in front of him in Detroit.
