During the time that he was still living, his wife, Loreta, had already passed away. She had already stopped breathing. Those who will remember him include his mother, Vijay, his father, Om, his brothers, Sanjeev (and his wife Nannette) and Neelesh (and his wife Melissa), and his cherished nephew, Ashwin. Also, his mother will remember him fondly in the future.
Over the course of several decades, his family will always remember him well. Benjamin Medema, the attorney for the prosecution, stated that on September 26, 2015, Tanis threatened the victim with mace spray and forced her to drive him somewhere. He added that he also threatened to use mace spray on her. Mace spray was used to threaten the woman, according to Medema, who also described the incident.
Tanis allegedly threatened the woman with the spray, according to another statement that Medema provided from her perspective. The incident occurred from the exterior of a retail shop in Fruitport Township, which was the location of the incident. The incident took place in Fruitport Township. Tanis was able to enter the vehicle by crawling over the baby son of the victim, who was sitting in the back seat of the victim’s vehicle. Tanis was intent on entering the vehicle. Tanis was acting in this manner when the child of the victim was seated there.
Tanis managed to fit himself into the truck without any problems. As far as Medema is concerned, he attempted to spray the victim with the spray; however, the device did not discharge despite his efforts to do so. It was not possible for him to achieve success despite his best efforts. According to Medema, we are unable to make light of the seriousness of the scenario that is currently going place, and we are also unable to disregard the seriousness of the issue. “The significance of the circumstance is something that cannot be disregarded,” Medema noted.
Tanis’s behavior appeared to be prompted by a mental health crisis, according to the defense attorney Frank Stanley’s argument. “Stanley claimed that he had a psychiatric background prior to this incident,” Stanley contended that Tanis lacked any reason to carry out the action, as he had convenient access to transportation and was likely in a state of perplexity during the incident.
Despite the fact that Tanis suffers from anxiety, panic attacks, and depression, she was administered medication that has the potential to have side effects such as hallucinations, delusions, and disorientation, as reported by Staney. Stanley argued that there is a causal relationship between his actions and his psychological well-being, and he stated that this connection exists. The victim, who was interviewed on Tuesday, confirmed that she had acknowledged and accepted Tanis’s apology.
She asserted that she had a child who was the same age as Tanis and who, like Tanis, suffered from the same difficulties. The request that she is making is that Tanis provide compensation for the time that she was absent from work as a result of the incident.
During the time that Tanis’s legal counsel was verifying a particular piece of evidence that has the potential to affect the manner in which he is sentenced, the sentencing process was delayed.
