Spota and McPartland were accused of helping cover for a police chief who punched a handcuffed man suspected of stealing sex toys and pornography from the chief’s department SUV. The chief, James Burke, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 46 months in prison and was released to home confinement after serving most of his sentence.
Probation officials have recommended that Spota should serve 57 to 71 months in prison and that McPartland should receive a sentence of 46 to 57 months in prison, Newsday reported.
“A sentence within the guidelines range does not adequately capture nor appropriately punish the defendants,” prosecutors wrote in a sentencing memorandum filed Friday. “The sentences imposed should reflect the unprecedented magnitude and scope of the defendants’ abuse of power.”
