Atlantic City Mayor Faces New Witness Tampering Charge

Mayor Marty Small Sr. is accused of pressuring his daughter to alter her account of alleged abuse incidents.

Marty Small Sr., Atlantic City's mayor, is charged with witness tampering after allegedly asking his daughter to lie about a head injury.
The mayor and his wife, La'Quetta Small, the city's superintendent of schools, were previously charged with assaulting and abusing their teenage daughter.
Prosecutors allege that Small pressured his daughter to claim her head injury was from an accidental fall, contradicting her original statement.
Small's attorney argues that the charge is unfounded, claiming the mayor simply encouraged his daughter to tell the truth.
The couple denies all allegations, and Marty Small's court date for the new charge is set for December 3.
