Surveillance video from a Virginia psychiatric facility shows 7 sheriff's deputies and 3 hospital employees piling on top of Irvo Otieno, a 28-year-old who was shackled at the time, for about 11 minutes until he stopped moving.
Hospital employees Darian M. Blackwell, 23; Wavie L. Jones, 34, and Sadarius D. Williams, 27, are facing the same charges.
"There is a judicial process going on and we have to fully respect that, and I ask everybody to please fully respect it," Youngkin said."We also can just see the heart-wrenching nature of the challenges in our behavioral health system."Otieno's attorneys, Mark Krudys and Ben Crump, have described his death as the culmination of a"continuum of abuse" he faced after being taken into custody during an episode of mental health distress on March 3.
They say the video shows deputies aggressively entering Otieno's small cell — where he was sitting naked, with feces on the floor — and carrying him out by the arms and legs. He was taken with heavy police presence to Central State Hospital, a state-run inpatient psychiatric facility some 50 miles away.
Otieno"died of asphyxia due to being smothered," according to Baskervill. She later said in court that in between his death and the call to state police, his body was moved, handcuffs removed and washed and a funeral home had been called instead of the medical examiner's office,She also alleged that none of the deputies"made truthful statements to the State Police either that night or ... upon arrest.
