Footage Released of Fatal Beating of 43-Year-Old Inmate Robert Brooks by New York Correction Officers on December 9, 2024
Dec 27, 2024, 08:31 PM
Court documents reveal a deadly incident involving New York State prison guards at the Marcy Correctional Facility on December 9, 2024, which resulted in the death of inmate Robert Brooks. Body-worn camera footage from corrections officers is currently under review as part of an ongoing investigation. The New York Attorney General's Office is expected to release the footage this week, which reportedly shows officers fatally assaulting Brooks while he was restrained. Reports indicate that Brooks, a 43-year-old inmate, was beaten by multiple correction officers, leading to his death the following day at Wynn Hospital in Utica, NY. The footage is anticipated to provide critical insights into the events that transpired, including allegations of suffocation during the assault. Attorney General Letitia James is set to discuss the release of the footage, which has raised concerns regarding accountability for the involved officers, none of whom have been criminally charged since the incident.
