Grand jury expected to review Robert Brooks case

Grand jury expected to review the case of inmates seen on camera beating Robert Brooks.

A grand jury is expected Monday to begin reviewing the case of Robert Brooks.

Brooks is an inmate that died at Marcy Correctional Facility in central New York.

He was seen on body camera footage being beaten by correction officers.

The cause of Brooks’ death has been ruled a homicide because of compression to the neck and multiple blunt force injuries, the Times Union reported.

A total of 17 people have been suspended in connection with Brooks’ death. One person has resigned.

Brooks was serving a 12-year prison sentence after being convicted of first-degree assault back in 2017 for stabbing his girlfriend at the time.
