Bodycam Footage Shows New York Inmate Robert Brooks' Fatal Beating by 14 Guards on December 9, 2024
Dec 27, 2024, 09:47 PM
On December 9, 2024, Robert Brooks, a 43-year-old inmate at Marcy Correctional Facility in Oneida County, New York, died following a violent incident involving correctional officers. Body-worn camera footage released by New York Attorney General Letitia James shows officers repeatedly punching and kicking Brooks while he was handcuffed and restrained on a medical gurney. The footage, described as graphic and disturbing, has prompted widespread outrage and calls for accountability. Brooks was pronounced dead the following day at Wynn Hospital in Utica. The incident has raised serious concerns regarding the treatment of inmates in New York's correctional facilities, with 14 staff members reportedly involved in the assault. As investigations continue, there have been no criminal charges filed against the officers involved in the incident, which has drawn condemnation from various advocacy groups and officials, including Governor Kathy Hochul.
