Maryland prosecutors are not seeking jail time for a former member of
an Orthodox Jewish neighborhood watch group convicted in the beating of
a black teenager.
Twenty-four-year-old Eliyahu Werdesheim faces sentencing Wednesday
for second-degree assault and false imprisonment. His 22-year-old
brother, Avi, was acquitted. The case drew comparisons to the fatal
shooting of Florida teen Trayvon Martin.
Eliyahu Werdesheim faces up to 10 years on the assault count, but
prosecutors are requesting a three-year suspended sentence, probation
and community service.

Each case is individual. I wish they'd stop the comparisons.
