Townsend appeals conviction after 3 to 6 year terms ordered
Lawrence Townsend, convicted on ten charges of aggravated assault, faces a planned appeal. Judge Tierney noted the defendant’s prior record, including a federal narcotics conviction, and criticized Townsend’s witness–stand attitude. Townsend’s attorney argued for a suspended sentence, while prosecutors contended the verdict should stand with consecutive maximum terms. The defense contended potential jury bias due to limited Black jurors and sought inclusion of prior testimony, but the judge upheld the verdict, stating the jury weighed the case thoroughly and acted without prejudice.
