Bodycam Footage Shows New York Prisoner Beaten By Officers Before Death

A bodycam footage released on Friday shows the correctional officers at a New York prison facility beating a handcuffed inmate, who died the following day. Robert Brooks, 43, was declared dead at a hospital on December 10, a day after the incident at the Marcy Correctional Facility in New York.

New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is currently investigating the case, made the December 9 body camera footage public on Friday.

After an internal review, New York Governor Kathy Hochul ordered the firing of 13 officers and a prison nurse for their alleged involvement in the assault, BBC reported. Hochul noted she was “outraged and horrified” by the videos of Brooks' “senseless killing”.
