Disgraced ex-Suffolk County Police Chief James Burke gets 46 months for assaulting suspect and covering it up
Ex-Suffolk County Police Chief James Burke, who brought disgrace to himself and his department for assaulting a defenseless suspect, got one last break Wednesday in his long law enforcement career from a federal judge.
Judge Leonard Wexler sentenced Burke to 46 months in prison for the assault and the ensuing coverup of the attack in which he threatened to retaliate against witnesses if they cooperated in the federal probe. The sentence was five months below the top end of the guidelines Wexler had considered.
“I feel Mr. Burke acted like a dictator," Wexler said. "If you’re good to him, he'll be good to you. He also did bad. That's corruption.”
Federal prosecutors had asked the judge to send Burke away for 51 months. Burke was seeking time served less the 11 months he has been behind bars since his arrest last December.
