Family of Slain NY Inmate Files Federal Civil Lawsuit

The family of Robert Brooks, the Greece man who died the day after being beaten by corrections officers at Marcy Correctional Facility, has filed a federal civil lawsuit. Brooks’ son and brother reflected on their memories of him during a news conference on Wednesday, accompanied by their attorneys. The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court, names 17 employees of the correctional facility as defendants.

Body-worn camera footage captures corrections officers beating Brooks in a medical exam room at the Oneida County facility on December 9. Brooks passed away the following day in the hospital. Since his death, 17 employees at Marcy Correctional Facility, including two nurses, have either been suspended without pay or resigned.

No criminal charges have been filed at this time. The investigation into Brooks’ death is being led by the Onondaga County district attorney, who has been appointed as the special prosecutor, after the State Attorney General’s Office recused itself from the case.
