For framing innocent black men, a Florida police chief gets 3 years in prison

By Jay Weaver and David Ovalle, Miami Herald 8 hrs ago

MIAMI - Raimundo Atesiano, the former Biscayne Park police chief who directed his officers to frame innocent men for a series of unsolved burglaries, admitted he wanted to appease community leaders and polish the village's property crimes record.
Even in a small village of about 3,000 residents, the pressure was just too much, he said.
"When I took the job, I was not prepared," Atesiano told a federal judge on Tuesday. "I made some very, very bad decisions."
His apologies did not sway U.S. District Judge K. Michael Moore, who on Tuesday sentenced the 53-year-old former cop to three years in prison. He allowed Atesiano to remain free for two weeks before surrendering so he can care for his mother, who is dying of leukemia.

1. What? How about he serve all the years his victims served?

Okay, he can stay with his mother until she dies, but then straight to jail.
