Prosecutors have announced they won't proceed with a child abuse trial against Atlantic City's superintendent of schools, just weeks after her husband — the seaside gambling resort's mayor — was acquitted on similar charges.
Marty Small Sr., 51, and La’Quetta Small, 49, were accused endangering and abusing their teenage daughter. Atlantic City High School principal Constance Days-Chapman also was charged in the case because prosecutors said she failed to report the teen’s abuse claim to state child welfare officials. Both women had pleaded not guilty.
