Judge rules mistreatment in Newark theft case damages likely

U S District Judge H Lee Sarokin ruled two Newark men acquitted of stealing cobblestones should receive damages from the city for mistreatment while held three days in May 1982. He said white businessmen might not have faced the same outcome and criticized jail conditions as filthy and inhumane. Police officers were found to have probable cause and not to have caused unlawful detention.
