Tire slashing trial results

Today we find out what happens to the four Democratic activists that pled no-contest to slashing the tires on 25 rented vans that were to be used by Republicans in a "get out the vote" effort during the Presidential election.

The office of District Attorney E. Michael McCann('t) asked for probation in the plea deal, but the judge did the right thing and ignored the sentencing request and gave them some (not enough, but some) jail time.

Michael Pratt, son of former mayor Marvin Pratt was sentenced to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.

Sowande Omokunde, son of Congresswoman Gwenn Moore was sentenced to four months in jail and a $1,000 fine.

Lavelle Mohammad was sentenced to five months in jail and a $1,000 fine.

Lewis Caldwell was sentenced to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.
