NY AG releases video showing inmate from Rochester beaten before death at state prison

WARNING: GRAPHIC VIDEO

New York Attorney General Letitia James released body-worn camera video Friday from Marcy Correctional Facility showing officers beating an inmate who died the next day.
Video from Dec. 9 showed Robert Brooks, 43, of Rochester, being beaten by several officers.

James noted the officers left their cameras on standby mode, only recording video and not audio.

The official cause of Brooks’ death has not yet been released, but preliminary findings show concern for asphyxia due to compression of the neck.
