‘Temper justice with mercy’: Ex-Antioch cops who testified against colleagues avoid jail

OAKLAND — Two ex-Antioch officers avoided incarceration for various crimes committed while on the force, after a judge found their “sincere remorse,” rehabilitation and testimony against former colleagues warranted mercy.

Daniel Harris, a former Antioch officer, and Timothy Manly-Williams, a former officer for Antioch and Pittsburg, were both sentenced Tuesday to three-year probation terms in lieu of jail time. U.S. District Judge Jeffrey White handed down both sentences at an afternoon hearing.
