Now the Oak Park native
is home as the new U.S. at-
torney for the Eastern
District of Michigan, hoping
to help combat violent crime.
"Our society is beset by in-
tolerant levels of violent
crime," Markman said. "My
No. 1 priority is to make a
contribution to reducing
levels of firearm use and
drugs in day-to-day crime."
Markman said the eastern
district court has
implemented policies that
"restrict the extent that we
will engage in plea bargain-
ing. We are more prepared to
go to trial."
He added that he is trying
to impose stricter penalties
for those offenders who use
drugs and weapons while
committing a crime.
Punishment includes pre-
trial detention and the max-
imum possible sentences.
"The combination of drugs
and. guns contribute enor-
mously to violent crime,"
Markman said. "If the laws
allowed for longer sentences
for these offenders, we would
do it."
Markman, a araduate of
Oak Park High 6School, left
the state to attend Duke
University in 1967. After
graduating from the Univer-
sity of Cincinnati law school,
he moved to Washington,
D.C., where he worked in the
legal department for several
government departments.
Among his positions,
Markman headed the U.S.
Department of Justice's Of-
fice of Legal Policy and was
chief counsel and staff direc-
tor for the U.S. Subcom-
mittee on the Constitution.
