A former Baltimore Police sergeant who in May pleaded guilty to misconduct in office will avoid a prison sentence.
Ethan Newberg was accused by prosecutors of a series of unjustified arrests in 2018 and 2019, in which the former Southwestern District sergeant would detain bystanders, often those who criticized his police actions or attempted to record him. His actions were derided publicly when he was first criminally charged in 2021 by the then-police commissioner as “not just wrong, but deeply disturbing and illegal.”
…
Prosecutors requested that Taylor sentence Newberg to 36 months of incarceration, while defense attorney Joe Murtha asked for no jail time.
Fucker should be in jail for violation of rights.
Should be at least 1 year per false arrest. And none of that “home detention” crap, make him go to the same jails he was putting people in.
