A South Florida doctor charged with a hate crime after a 2021 assault of a Hispanic man outside a supermarket will avoid prison as part of a plea deal.
The trial of Dr. Jennifer Wright, an anesthesiologist at Mount Sinai Medical Center, was scheduled to begin Monday in a Miami-Dade courtroom.
But Wright took a plea deal and admitted she was guilty for battery and criminal mischief, more than two years after the incident.
Under the terms of the deal, Wright was sentenced to one year of probation and will have to participate in racial sensitivity and anger management training.
