Former U.S. Attorney Stephen H. Sachs, a pillar of Maryland’s legal community, has passed away.
Baltimore, Maryland – In a shocking turn of events, former U.S. Attorney Stephen H. Sachs was remembered as one of the most respected public servants in Maryland’s history.
According to sources, Sachs’ commitment to the rule of law and passion for justice are legendary and continued until his passing.
As a brilliant attorney, Sachs spent years in public service, first as an Assistant U.S. Attorney, then as U.S. Attorney, and subsequently as Attorney General for Maryland.
In 1968, while Sachs was U.S. Attorney, he prosecuted the Catonsville Nine, Vietnam protestors who stole draft records from the Catonsville Selective Service office and burned them in the parking lot.
The prosecution of the Catonsville Nine showcased Sachs’ dedication to enforcing the law and upholding the principles of justice.
Sachs’ legacy extends beyond his time in public service. He was a respected figure in Maryland’s legal community and a mentor to many.
We offer our sincerest condolences to Steve Sachs’ children, grandchildren, family, and friends.
