New York Attorney General Letitia James has unveiled shocking and disturbing body-worn camera footage showing the fatal beating of an inmate at the Marcy Correctional Facility in upstate New York. The incident resulted in the death of Robert Brooks, a 43-year-old inmate serving a 12-year prison sentence for first-degree assault since 2017.
The footage revealed that Brooks was beaten by correctional officers in the early morning of December 10. In response to the incident, Governor Kathy Hochul has taken swift action by directing the state's corrections department to terminate 14 workers involved in the attack.
