The lawyer, David Zacks of Bloomfield Hills, was shot through his door on April 30 by a man who came to his house and pretended to be a police officer. Zacks didn’t open the door, instead telling his wife to call police. Also at his home were his daughter, his son and the son’s girlfriend.
The accused shooter, 21-year-old Devon Miller, was sentenced to 30 to 60 years in prison.

She told the judge she had never been in trouble before and suffered from mental illness. A lawyer previously told the Oakland Press that Chobod had met Zacks at a strip club where she danced.
