Zach Sowers Widow Not Shocked To Learn Convicted Man Back In Trouble

One of the four men who were convicted and served time in the beating death of Zach Sowers has been charged with a federal gun crime.

The U.S. Attorney's Office says 24-year-old Arthur Jeter could face ten years in federal prison if he is convicted. Jeter spent more than five years in prison in connection with 2007 robbery and curb stomping death of Sowers. Sowers was beaten while walking to his Patterson Park row house. He died after months in a coma.

Sower's widow Anna tells WBAL Radio she is not surprised that Jeter came out of prison and may go back. "These kids were really bad kids," says Sowers. Jeter was released in the end of June 2012.

Two other teenagers were sentenced to 8 years. A 17-year-old was given a forty year sentence for his involvement in the crime.

Sowers says all of them should have served forty years or more because they essentially got away with murder. "Jeter served five years for the death of my husband," Sowers says.

Sowers who has since moved away from Baltimore says she still keeps in touch and friends let her know of any developments when it comes to crime in the city.

"I just wish the city would do a better job of keeping people who are harmful to others in jail or some other correctional facility. I always think of Baltimore City justice system as a revolving door," says Sowers.
