Louis R. Fenwick
Leonardtown, MD— On Jan.19 Judge Karen Abrams of St. Mary’s County Circuit Court sentenced Louis R. Fenwick, 53, of Great Mills to two charges of second-degree assault to run consecutive, resulting in six years in the Maryland Department of Corrections.
Sean Moran, who was Fenwick’s Defense Attorney said,” one request that Fenwick would like to make before he is sentenced is to present for his daughter’s dentist’s appointment.”
Abrams declined to approve Fenwick’s request, citing the length it has taken to sentence Fenwick.
Buffy Giddens, who is an assistant state’s attorney, said, “We (Giddens and Moran) had reached a plea agreement that they felt was fair for Fenwick’s actions.”
Fenwick was given a chance to speak to Abrams and said, ” I am very sorry for what I have done, my alcohol was acting up. My wife was going to drop the charges, and we are still married.
“I feel sorry about this, reading the facts about what happen these actions are terrible. I see you (Fenwick) have taken this matter severely. I feel that you need a stern sentence. However, you also need mercy,” said Abrams.
Fenwick was also sentenced to three years supervised probation, and ordered to not have contact with the victim in this case.
