JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (KMIZ)
A newly released video shows the moments before the death of a prison inmate whose family has sued the state.
CNN released the video showing the final moments of Othel Moore's life Tuesday ahead of a news conference. Moore's family plans to release the video publicly at the news conference.
The Missouri Justice Coalition has said Moore, 38, was excessively pepper sprayed by the JCCC Emergency Response Team before his head was covered with a hood, his body was wrapped and he was strapped to a restraint cart. The coalition said Moore was then taken to a dry cell in Housing Unit No. 8.
Moore died last December after he not given emergency care in what the family calls indifference and complete disregard for the sanctity of life.
Four former corrections officers who were charged in the death of an inmate at Jefferson City Correctional Center were indicted by a grand jury in September.
Jacob Case and Justin Leggins were charged with third-degree accessory to assault and second-degree murder in a joint indictment along with Bryanne Bradshaw and Aaron Brown, who were charged with accessory to second-degree assault and second-degree murder. All four had posted bond in July. Bradshaw was previously charged with involuntary manslaughter.
