The Democrat mayor of Atlantic city is facing a new accusation that he asked his daughter to lie about how she sustained a head injury.
Marty Small Sr. was charged with witness tampering involving the girl .
He and his wife, La’Quetta, were previously charged with assault and abuse. Prosecutors say Marty Small asked his daughter to say her head injury happened when she tripped and fell in her room.
However, Small’s lawyer calls the latest charge “sheer nonsense” and says Small asked his daughter to tell the truth. Small’s wife is the superintendent of schools in the New Jersey seaside gambling resort city.
