Sentencing
Hersl and Taylor each face as much as 60 years in prison.
The six cops who pleaded guilty face maximum prison sentences ranging from 20 to 40 years. Sgt. Wayne Jenkins, one of the task force commanders, is scheduled for sentencing on April 12. He faces as much as 30 years in prison. The other five have not yet been scheduled for sentencing.
The five men found guilty of operating the heroin ring that led federal investigators to the corrupt police (one detective has admitted to running interference for the drug dealers) face maximum sentences ranging from 40 years to life in prison.
Three civilians have pleaded guilty to crimes committed with the officers. They admitted to helping the officers rob a South Baltimore couple of $20,000. They are scheduled for sentencing March 9. They both face as much as life in prison.
Bail bondsman Donald Stepp pleaded guilty to drug charges last month. The Baltimore County man admitted to selling cocaine and heroin supplied by one of the officers. He’s scheduled for sentencing April 6. He faces the possibility of life in prison.
I don't think the civilian criminals should be facing much harsher sentences than the cop criminals for some of these crimes, but maybe that's because the non-cops have lots of priors.
Anyway, at least these assholes were busted out and will likely spend a number of years behind bars.
