Bodycam Video Released of New York Officers Fatally Beating Prisoner

In 2017, Robert Brooks pled guilty to first-degree assault, a felony and was serving a 12-year sentence after he was convicted of first-degree assault in 2017 for stabbing his girlfriend multiple times during a physical domestic dispute.  In 2024 Brook’s 12 year sentence turned into a death sentence, not by the courts but the hands of prison guards.

Shocking video, taken from four jail guards,  has been released of  a now 43 year old Robert Brooks, handcuffed, being beaten unconscious by prison guards before he’s stripped down to his underwear. Robert Brooks was eventually taken to Wynn Hospital in Utica and declared dead from “asphyxia due to compression of the neck,” in the early morning of Dec. 10, Syracuse.com reported, citing the Onondaga County Medical Examiner’s Office. The commissioner said, at Gov. Kathy Hochul’s request, he began the process of firing those involved and so far had suspended 13 staffers without pay. One employee resigned.
