Circuit judge sentences local dentist who sent anti-Semitic letter
PONTIAC (AP) — A Bloomfield Township dentist on probation for sending an anti-Semitic letter to another dentist that included a picture of Adolf Hitler has been ordered to perform community service after offering to tell a probation officer a Hispanic joke.
Oakland Circuit Judge Mark Goldsmith on Wednesday sentenced 50-year-old Marc Kamp to complete previously ordered community service at the Holocaust Memorial Center in Farmington Hills, wear a tether for 60 days and participate in an anger management program.
Kamp pleaded guilty to ethnic intimidation after sending the letter in April 2008 to dentist Steven Moss. Moss, who is Jewish, accused Kamp in a lawsuit of trying to steal his patients.
Kamp told the court Wednesday that he used poor judgment and is looking forward to bettering himself.
