    Another Ubama voter

    A Newark man was convicted of aggravated assault in the beating of a woman in her home but acquitted of a more serious charge.


    Nanny-cam attacker not guilty of attempted murder, but faces stiff prison term

    NEWARK — A city man Wednesday was convicted of beating a woman in her Millburn home while her children were nearby, but he was acquitted of a more serious charge of attempted murder.

    A jury found Shawn Custis, 45, guilty of second-degree aggravated assault for the June 21, 2013 attack that was recorded on a home security "nanny cam." The victim was punched and kicked and thrown down the basement stairs.

    The victim sat in the courtroom weeping as she heard the jury foreman say that Custis was also guilty of endangering the welfare of a child, robbery, burglary, criminal restraint and theft. Her husband sat beside her.

    Custis was not in the courtroom. His lawyer, John McMahon of the Public Defender's Office, said Custis waived his right to hear the verdict.

    Moments later outside the courthouse, jury foreman Jerome Branham praised four women who identified Custis from the "nanny cam" video.

    NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — A judge sentenced a career criminal to life in prison Wednesday for a brutal home invasion beating caught on a nanny cam after listening to the victim describe how the attack left her with physical and psychological scars.

    Shawn Custis said nothing during the hearing and held a folder of papers in front of his face during the proceeding to block photographers from taking his picture.

    The woman, who testified against Custis during the trial, gasped and sobbed in the gallery after state Superior Court Judge Ronald Wigler pronounced the sentence and referred to the 45-year-old man as "vicious, depraved and evil."

    The 2013 attack lasted several minutes and started while the woman was sitting with her daughter watching television, with her infant son sleeping upstairs. The woman was punched and kicked repeatedly and thrown down a flight of stairs. The children weren't physically injured.

    Approaching the bench to describe how the crime has affected her, the woman said she suffered a fractured bone in her back and facial injuries and remains so traumatized that she has been unable to return to work and has had to move her family.

        Could have been worse. She may have been attacked by a Californian and/or Texan
