"The disposition, I don’t believe is inconsistent with justice," Hobbs said, noting that Sellie had no prior convictions and hadn't previously been accused of abusing inmates.

Sellie's lawyer, Andrew Safranko, told the Times Union of Albany that the plea "provides certainty to Eugene, his family and the community."

But Schenectady County District Attorney Robert Carney said the sentence, which includes five years' probation, "just doesn’t reflect the gravity of harm Mr. Sellie caused."

"This was an unprovoked assault on an inmate, which caused life-threatening injuries," Carney told The Daily Gazette of Schenectady.

A former New York jail guard has been sentenced to six months in prison for beating and seriously injuring a detainee.

Sellie led Mannarino into a changing area without surveillance cameras and assaulted him after the victim complained that officers were taking too long to process his arrest, authorities said.

Mannarino suffered broken ribs, a collapsed lung and a broken collar bone. Released without any medical attention, he collapsed on a nearby sidewalk. A parole officer noticed and aided him.

Mannarino sued the county, which settled the case last fall for $562,500.

Sellie and his supervising sergeant, Timothy Bruce, were fired shortly after the attack. Bruce pleaded guilty Tuesday to misdemeanor official misconduct and was ordered to pay a $500 fine.

Mannarino's lawyer, Kevin Luibrand, said his client had expected more serious consequences for the beating but appreciated that charges were filed in the first place.

Mannarino "is not expressing criticism toward anyone other than the officer who broke his ribs and assaulted him and those who covered it up," his attorney said.
