Six correctional officers were charged with second-degree murder, gang assault and manslaughter in connection with the death of inmate Robert Brooks. The 43-year-old was beaten by guards at an upstate New York prison.
The Brooks family’s legal team, which includes Hughes Socol Piers Resnick & Dym, Ltd. and Faraci Lange, LLP, previously handled the high-profile case of Daniel Prude’s 2020 death in Rochester, which resulted in a $12 million settlement.
