Six former Mississippi law enforcement officers who pleaded guilty to a long list of state and federal charges for torturing two Black men will be sentenced by a federal judge starting Tuesday.
U.S. District Judge Tom Lee will sentence two defendants each day on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday after twice delaying the proceedings. Each faces the potential of decades behind bars.
I read the maximums, and I’m just concerned the judge could be “lenient” with sentencing.
The judge stated during sentencing that the first officer deserves more than the maximums.
