Report: Ben Sebena Got Special Treatment; Officer, Deputies Suspended

A ranking officer and several deputies of the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Department could be fired for giving special treatment to Benjamin Sebena, accused of killing his wife, Wauwatosa Police Officer Jennifer Sebena, according to Today's TMJ4.

The station reported Thursday night that a lieutenant and four correctional officers provided or allowed candy and possibly other amenities to be given to Sebena while he is on secure watch at the County Jail.

County Sheriff David Clarke is contemplating firing the officers, according to the TMJ4 report, which could not be independently confirmed at the hour.

Benjamin Sebena stands charged with first-degree intentional homicide in the murder of his wife in the early morning of Christmas Eve, and is being held on $1 million bail.

Sebena has appeared in court three times strapped to a wheelchair and wearing a protective vest over a hospital gown. He has changed his not guilty plea to not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect. His trial begins July 8.
