Why were Gabe Leland, André Spivey sentences treated so differently?
Detroit — Two of the nine Detroit City Council members who began 2021 in elected office resigned in corruption probes by the end of it, but their punishments differed. Gabe Leland, who is White, served no time in jail or prison in a state case for misconduct in office. André Spivey, who is Black, was sentenced Wednesday to two years in federal prison.
