Conroe ISD cop found guilty; jury mulls sentence

A jury will deliberate today the sentence for a former Conroe schools police officer who was found guilty Thursday in his trial over the sexual assaults of four high school students.

The jury took three hours to find Donald P. Mauro guilty on all 18 counts. Mauro, 43, was accused of assaulting four students last fall while working part-time at Oak Ridge North High School.

You know, I haven't mentioned this for quite a while, so it bears repeating: the police corruption stories that I post here are only a very small sampling of what's available in the press on a daily basis--what makes it into the press are only those instances where cops get caught. It stands to reason that police abuse of power is going on all over the place all the time; we simply don't hear about it.

Unless, of course, you're African-American or Hispanic. In that case, it's common knowledge due to personal experience.

UPDATE: They gave this Conroe ISD cop 160 years!!!
