Update: Wilcox County,
Georgia (First reported 10/25/12): The former sheriff was sentenced to ten
years in prison for assaulting an inmate inside of the county jail and for
conspiring to cover up the incident. “Today’s sentence reflects that law
enforcement officers who assault inmates in their custody and make false
statements erode the trust of the people that they have sworn to protect,” said
the Deputy Assistant Attorney General for the civil rights division.
