DA wants Davis to serve more time

A woman who was sentenced to six years in prison for killing her autistic 13-year-old son in a house fire could receive more time behind bars due to a court error.

Cayuga County District Attorney Jon Budelmann said Michelle Davis, 45, never received the state mandated post-release supervision when Cayuga County Judge Peter Corning sentenced her to prison on June 8, 2000.

During a hearing in Cayuga County Court on Monday, Budelmann said his office wanted to impose the post-release supervision onto Davis, which would annul her prior sentence, and allow him to attempt to re-sentence her to a longer term of incarceration.
