Death of Robert Brooks beaten by New York prison guards ruled a homicide in autopsy report, lawyers say

India Today  

ALBANY: The death of a handcuffed man who was pummeled by New York prison guards was ruled a homicide in an autopsy report, lawyers for his family said Wednesday. The report issued by the county medical examiner’s office last week concludes that the cause of Robert Brooks’ death in December was compression of the neck and multiple blunt impact injuries. Body camera video shows corrections officers assaulting Brooks for about 10 minutes while he was handcuffed on a medical examination table at Marcy Correctional Facility on Dec. 9. New York’s attorney general last month appointed Onondaga County District Attorney William Fitzpatrick as a special prosecutor to investigate Brooks’ death.
