Lawyer: Marzilli should be 'restrained'

From the Lowell Sun:

WOBURN -- The lawyer representing three women who are accusing embattled state Sen. J. James Marzilli of violating their civil rights by sexually assaulting them and making lewd comments told a judge yesterday that Marzilli needs to be "restrained" from targeting any more women.

Attorney Wendy Murphy told Middlesex Superior Court Judge Sandra Hamlin that this first-of-its-kind civil-rights injunction places no burden on Marzilli, "it just ramps up the punishment" if he violates it.

If the 50-year-old Arlington Democrat is found violating the civil-rights preliminary injunction, he could be subject to 2 1/2 years in jail.
