Robert G. Sabetta – Foster Police Department

In January 1992, Officer Sabetta allegedly struck 16-year-old Frank Sherman in the face with a flashlight, knocking out two teeth. Following an internal investigation, Sabetta was suspended with pay and later indicted for assault with a dangerous weapon in March 1993, leading to a suspension without pay. In April 1993, despite being ordered to stay away from Sherman, Sabetta confronted Sherman and his friends at a garage in Foster, resulting in the fatal shooting of Frank Sherman, his brother Charles, and friend Jeremy Bullock. Sabetta was apprehended, tried, and convicted in June 1994, receiving three consecutive life terms plus twenty years in October 1994. The trial judge described the killings as a ‘deliberate, systematic and cold-blooded’ execution.
