No Jail Time for Ehrlich's 2010 Campaign Manager
A suspended sentence for the man who managed former Maryland Republican Gov. Bob Ehrlich's 2010 gubernatorial campaign and was convicted for an improper robocall that prosecutors said was designed to suppress the black vote. The Baltimore Sun:
Former Republican Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr.'s campaign manager will not serve jail time for his role in an Election Day 2010 robocall that prosecutors said was designed to suppress the black vote by encouraging people to stay home from the polls.
Paul Schurick received a one-year suspended sentence Thursday morning. The 55-year-old Crownsville resident will serve 30 days' home detention and must perform 500 hours of community service -- half in each of the two communities targeted in the call, Baltimore City and Prince George's County.
During the sentencing hearing, Schurick asked the judge to weigh his 30 years of public service against what he described as a 90-second phone call, which he said "destroyed my life."
