VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) — For the first time since the June 2024 in-custody death of Rolin Hill, body cam footage of the incident was shown during a bond hearing for the three former Virginia Beach deputies charged with second-degree murder. Death of man who was in VB Sheriff’s Office custody ruled homicide; 5 deputies fired During the Jan. 8 bond hearing, former deputies Kevin Wilson, Michael Kidd and Eric Baptiste were given a $5,000 bond because the judge said they were not thought to be a flight risk or a danger to the community. Ex-VB sheriff’s deputies in court on murder charges Baptiste was the first to enter the courtroom, followed by Kidd and Wilson. They all sat together. 10 On Your Side's Andy Fox was in the courtroom, where he counted around 55 total people, either supporters of the deputies or Hill's family. The former deputies, who all have ties to the community, said they had repeatedly tried to get Hill to comply. In court, Kristin Paulding, the attorney for former Sheriff’s Deputy Michael Kidd, said the deputies were under the direction of a sergeant, and they had not been properly trained on how to use the body wrap. Family and community members gather to remember Rolin Hill About five minutes of body cam footage was shown during the hearing. In the disturbing video, the deputies could be seen above the body of Hill, repeatedly telling him to quit fighting back. Hill can be seen thrashing as the deputies tried to remove a body wrap. One of the deputies, Baptiste, could then be seen kneeling on Hill's neck, and punching him while another deputy was kneeling on his torso. The third deputy was at Hill's feet. Hill could be heard with deep labored breathing. The medical examiner ruled the incident a homicide, leading to the three former deputies to each be charged with second-degree murder. Baptiste is facing five counts of assault and battery in addition to the second-degree murder charge. Commonwealth's Attorney Colin Stolle asked for there to be no bond due to the body cam footage, which he referred to as horrific. WAVY's Andy Fox spoke with the father of former deputy Kevin Wilson, who was in the courtroom. "Well I really can't say anything, we just let this — everybody has a chance to get their day in court, that's all I can say, I can't really comment on anything," Wilson's father said. The father went on to say, "He's my son. I'm very proud of him. Um, you couldn't ask for more of a son." A trial date for the three deputies is expected to be decided on Jan. 21. In a statement from Virginia Beach Sheriff Rocky Holcomb, he said those in the courtroom got to see a glimpse of "the troubling nature" of the video footage he saw on body-worn cameras June 5, 2024. However, he said he would not release all of the body cam footage from the incident out of respect for the Hill family, and "to maintain the integrity of the investigations, criminal proceedings and right of the accused to have a fair trial." “Today during the bond hearing for the former deputies charged in the case of Rolin Hill, people in the courtroom got to see a glimpse of what I saw on body-worn cameras on June 5, 2024, which prompted me to immediately ask the Virginia State Police for an independent investigation into the incident and put five VBSO deputies on administrative leave. That investigation along with the VBSO Professional Standards Office investigation led me to terminate their employment on Oct. 18, 2024, and resulted in the criminal indictments announced this month. I understand the troubling nature of the video footage shown in court today. What happened in that video is not indicative of the culture of the Virginia Beach Sheriff’s Office nor the professionalism, compassion and skill of our 400 deputy sheriffs. That is why I have met personally with every deputy to reinforce our training, policies and expectations and to ensure they understand the weight of the public trust we uphold. I also understand the public demand to see all of the camera footage from this incident. I have not released it for two reasons. First, out of respect for the Hill family. Second, to maintain the integrity of the investigations, criminal proceedings and right of the accused to have a fair trial. The VBSO will remain cooperative, accountable and transparent throughout this case with all parties involved, and we respect and have faith in the judicial process. From day one, I have taken this incident very seriously and have taken every possible measure to prevent it from reoccurring. I remain committed to justice for Rolin Hill and all those involved in this incident." — Virginia Beach Sheriff Rocky Holcomb
