Prosecutors plan next week to release the video that led authorities in Virginia<\/a> to charge seven deputies and three state mental hospital employees with second-degree murder in the death of a handcuffed and shackled man.<\/p>\n

The family of Irvo Otieno saw the video of his death Thursday. With their blessing, the footage will be released to the public in the next several days, Dinwiddie County Commonwealth\u2019s Attorney Ann Cabell Baskervill told the Richmond Times-Dispatch.<\/p>\n

Attorneys for the family described the video to reporters as 12 agonizing minutes of deputies pushing down and smothering Otineo, a Black man whose arms and legs were restrained.<\/p>\n

“You can see that they\u2019re putting their back into it. Every part of his body is being pushed down with absolute brutality,” family attorney Mark Krudys said.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors said Otieno, 28, didn\u2019t appear to be combative and was sitting in a chair when he was pulled down by officers.<\/p>\n

The 12-minute video also showed a lack of urgency to help Otieno after the deputies determined “that he was lifeless and not breathing,” Krudys said.<\/p>\n

Ten people so far have been charged with second-degree murder in Otieno\u2019s death \u2014 seven Henrico County Sheriff\u2019s deputies and three people employed by the hospital.<\/p>\n

Attorneys for the people arrested have not seen the video yet.<\/p>\n

“They show the plaintiffs\u2019 attorneys the video. But we\u2019re representing these people charged with murder that are locked up. It\u2019s really disappointing. It seems like it\u2019s more important to curry public favor, to try the case in the media, instead of letting the criminal justice process work the way it\u2019s supposed to work,” defense attorney Peter Baruch told the Richmond newspaper.<\/p>\n

Otieno’s case marks the latest example of a Black man’s in-custody death that has law enforcement under scrutiny. It follows the fatal beating of Tyre Nichols in Memphis, Tennessee, earlier this year and comes nearly three years after the killing of George Floyd<\/a> in police custody in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n

Otieno, who was a child when his family emigrated from Kenya and grew up in suburban Richmond, had a history of mental health struggles<\/a> and was experiencing mental distress at the time of his initial encounter with law enforcement earlier this month, his family and their attorneys said.<\/p>\n

That set off a chain of events that led to him spending several days in custody before authorities say he died March 6 as he was being admitted to the Central State Hospital south of Richmond.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
