  • New York Attorney General Letitia James appointed a special prosecutor to oversee the investigation into the death of Robert Brooks.
  • The decision was made due to potential conflicts of interest as her office represents some corrections officers involved in previous lawsuits.
  • Body camera footage revealed officers violently assaulting Brooks while he was restrained in a medical examination room.
  • Governor Kathy Hochul expressed outrage, calling for reforms and supporting the early expectation of charges against those involved.
  • The results of Brooks' autopsy are pending, but preliminary findings indicate asphyxia related to the assault as a possible cause of death.
