Atlantic City mayor (D) acquitted on all counts
A jury has found Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small, Sr. not guilty on four counts after being accused of hitting his teenage daughter and then telling her to lie to investigators.
The acquittal means that Small can take the oath of office next month for a full four-year term as mayor.
The jury had deliberated for 2 ½ days.
Small was indicted in September 2024 on child abuse charges after an investigation by the prosecutor’s office resulted in allegations that he physically and emotionally abused his teenage daughter.
