HSPRD is proud to represent Robert Brooks, Jr. in his civil rights lawsuit seeking accountability against New York prison officials and New York state for his father’s death. Yesterday, 6 New York Correctional Officers who killed his father, Robert Brooks, Sr., were indicted for the murder.
“The convictions of these corrections officers for the murder of my father will not be enough. Every person in authority who allowed this system of violence and abuse to exist and continue for so long must also be held accountable,” said Brooks.
“Today’s charges send an important message to correctional officers everywhere. Wearing a badge does not give anyone license to act with impunity,” said Elizabeth Mazur of HSPRD.
