Sentencing of Jersey City police officer convicted of stealing cash from man is postponed
Updated Apr 28, 2021;
The sentencing a Jersey City police officer who was convicted last year of stealing cash from a man was postponed at the last moment Wednesday morning.
The hearing for Denzel Suitt had been scheduled Wednesday morning before Hudson County Superior Court Judge John Young, but it has been rescheduled for June 2, court officials said.
Suitt was convicted of official misconduct and theft by unlawful taking related to a March 25, 2018 incident in which he stole money from the wallet of a man on Bayside Terrace. The jury verdict came after a one-week trial that Suitt’s supporters say was not fair.
