Former Compton Mayor Omar Bradley was sentenced to 36 months’ probation Wednesday for misappropriating public funds. Late last month, Bradley was convicted for the second time on two counts of misappropriating public funds. The former mayor was also sentenced to a year in county jail, but Judge George Lomeli granted Bradley credit for time served, sparing the former officials more time behind bars. During that period, he ran for mayor twice, in 2013 and 2017, and lost both times to Aja Brown. “In my opinion the justice system has gotten way off track— certainly with the money that’s been expended to make a point with me,” Bradley said.
