(Matt McClain/The Washington Post)The allegations of racism that divided a Maryland town more than three years ago won’t be resolved any time soon. The statement by State Prosecutor Emmet C. Davitt comes after the Maryland Court of Special Appeals overturned Sewell’s misconduct conviction. In a 26-page filing, the Justice Department charged that the Worcester County sheriff and the state of Maryland subjected the officers to a hostile work environment. In December 2016, Green was found guilty by a Worcester County jury of conspiracy to commit misconduct in office. That is for the court to determine.” Davitt said the case would be set for a new trial in Worcester County Circuit Court.
