For two long years, Atlantic City, New Jersey Mayor Marty Small was branded as a guilty man, who physically and emotionally abused his teenage daughter.

An Atlantic County Jury Quickly Said Otherwise

Only one side of the story dominated the news cycles of Marty and La’Quetta Small for the past two years.

In the “court” of public opinion, it was predetermined that they were guilty as charged.

However, when a jury of Marty Small’s peers heard the actual evidence against him … they promptly and fully exonerated him with their unanimous not guilty verdict.

As It Turns out …

The jury arrived at their decision in short order. Had they not taken the time to playback some of the Marty Small audio evidence … they likely would have made their unanimous not guilty verdict known within 1 hour on Day 1 of their deliberations.

It Was Not A Close Call
