Remaining free on his own recognizance, the judge ordered a pre-sentence investigation. The felony charge of extortion has a maximum sentence of 10 years and/or a $10,000 fine, while the common law misconduct charge has no prescribed maximum sentence. Frederick’s attorney Wm. A. Lee Clarke said an appeal with the Court of Special Appeals would be the next step after sentencing.
In the meantime a peace order that prevented Frederick from even going to town hall was modified by Judge Sarbanes so that the first-term at-large commissioner can attend meetings but “exercise common sense” in his interactions with Commissioner Dennis Williams. He is to have no other contact with the District 2 commissioner by phone or through social media. “Stay within the bounds of common sense,” the judge said.

ReplyDeleteThe guy was found guilty of extortion. He should not have been allowed back to the town hall at all!
ReplyDeleteHow to extort fellow politicians must be what they are teaching in Political Science class at UMES nowadays. Learned pay to play from HilLiary.

ReplyDelete"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." MLK
Tell that to the racists BLM.
DeleteThe judge said to exercise common sense. One person's common sense isn't as effective against making stupid mistakes as another's.
ReplyDeleteWe're all stuck with the color of our skin, but our character is another issue.
ReplyDeleteI agree.
ReplyDeleteHe is a thig.
Whatever that is.
The judge wasn't local and probably was not aware or his actions. In fact the judge's last name causes concern

ReplyDeleteSarbanes is a judge in Wicomico County and has been for 3 or 4 years now.
Less than 2 years.

ReplyDeleteIt has been more than 2 years. He ran against MJ Caldwell 2 years ago and he was appointed by O'Malley at the beginning of 2014.
He is getting off easy, because he is black.
ReplyDeleteIf Caldwell was Judge, that guy wouldn't have gotten off as easy.
ReplyDeleteI really do believe judges have a stand down order on corrupt politicians recently seeing so many get off with little or no prosecution.
ReplyDeleteSometimes "diversity" isn't all it's cracked up to be.
ReplyDeleteAnd "common sense"? One person's common sense isn't always the same as another's. Thieves and cheats and scammers have a different view on common sense than those who are not. Their common sense is to take advantage of those with the common sense that the judge talks about.
Judges from other counties are brought in for "controversial" decisions.
ReplyDeleteThe commissioners can still vote to take him out. But they won't.
ReplyDeleteWell well... what do we have here... a Sarbanes and corruption = more corruption and greasy hands. He is an ethical nightmare as is the whole corrupt Sarbanes crew.
