According to the results of a post -mortem report jointly jointly on Wednesday, a handcuffed prisoner whose deadly beating officers killed those killed by marital officers last year.
Attorney Elizabeth Mazur told NBC News, the report attributed the death of Robert Brooks’ death December 10 to the neck and several two -sided force injuries.
The family’s defense team said in a statement, “The post -mortem report confirms what was already clear.” “Robert Brooks’ violent death was a massacre. We look forward to legal action against those responsible. In the meantime, we are moving forward with our fight for justice for Mr. Brooks and his family.
Looking for the massacre is not wrong. This means that the person died at the hands of someone else.
A spokesman for the Health Department of Ononga County said it could not release the results because the matter was under active investigation. The local prosecutor’s office also refused to comment on the pending investigation.
In a statement, New York Government Kathy Hachul cited the results, saying that authorities should now move forward to file criminal charges.
“Those responsible for the death of Mr Brooks should be held accountable to the entire extent,” he said. “This condemnable act of violence calls for the full force of our system of justice – Mr Brooks’s family does not deserve any further delay.”
A New York State Reform Officers and a spokesman for the Police Benulent Association did not immediately respond to the request for comment on Wednesday. The union had earlier described the officers’ behavior, which was caught on the video, “condemnable” and “the majority of our membership is not a reflection of the great work of performing every day.”
New York Attorney General Latia James told reporters, 43 -year -old Brooks was sentenced to 12 years on a first -degree attack when she was shifted to Marsi Cyntee Facility in Wanda County, about 240 miles north of New York City. , New York Attorney General Latia James told reporters. After his death
James said the officers involved in the confrontation did not activate their body camera, so they did not occupy the audio and recorded just 30 minutes of video when the devices were in standby mode. His office released several videos from the cameras of the four officers who beat.
A video depicts Brooks – whose hands are cuff behind his back – he has been taken upside down and taken to a medical examination room for this convenience. It is not yet clear what Brooks exchanged with the officers, and while Brooks do not take physically retaliation, videos offer different angles, and sometimes it is not clear what in the room Is happening
Another video Officers repeatedly show Brooks, while their hands are still withdrawn. On one occasion, an officer can be seen lifting the brooks from his neck and leaning on the bed in the room.
In December, Huchul ordered the State Department of Reforms to start the process of firing 14 reform officers, sergeants and a nurse in Marsi. Officials have publicly identified all 14, and they have been suspended without any salary, except for an officer who has already resigned. The remaining officers’ status was not immediately clear on Wednesday.
Daniel Martoslo, the Commissioner of the Reform Department, said in December that his office had launched an investigation into an attempt to bring about a “institutional change”.
“There is no excuse for the unconscious, the inhuman process and no rational status that has been unconscious,” he said. They said.
In a civil complaint filed in New York’s Federal District Court last month, Brooks’ property accused 17 people of excessive force and made other allegations in connection with their death. The suit does not explain the losses. No lawyers are listed for the defendants, and they have not responded to the case.
