Domestic Abuse
No Jailtime for Adam Bradley
It was sentencing day for former White Plains Mayor Adam Bradley.
Bradley was sentenced to three years probation for his conviction on domestic abuse charges against his now-estranged wife, Fumiko Bradley.
Prosecutors had called for jail time, but the judge cited Bradley's lack of a criminal record in determining his sentence. He had faced up to a year behind bars. He was convicted in a non-jury trial of attempted assault and harassment.
Bradley, a former State Assemblyman, stepped down from his post as Mayor last month. A special election to fill the Mayoral seat is to be held on March 31.
Bradley Guilty of Domestic Abuse Charges
A judge has found White Plains Mayor Adam Bradley guilty of several charges in connection with the domestic abuse case involving his wife Fumiko.
Judge Susan Capeci rendered her decision this morning, finding Bradley guilty of harassment, attempted assault and second degree criminal contempt charges, but innocent of several others.
Bradley was in court for today's verdict. He had opted for a bench trial rather than a jury trial.
The first incident occurred at their home on Fernwood Road in white plains on January 11, when Fumiko Bradley said her husband became enranged and threw a mug of hot jasmine tea on her chest.
The second incident occurred on February 28, 2010, also at the Bradley home, when the Mayor grabbed his wife's left arm and placed it against a door frame and bruised her left hand.
