Robert Brooks died choking on his own blood after three separate beatings and some of the corrections officers involved were released on bail, sparking anger in those in the courtroom gallery on Thursday.

Six prison workers in New York were indicted on murder charges Thursday in connection with the death of an inmate who was beaten while handcuffed.

The inmate's death was ruled a homicide after body camera video showed officers punching him while he was handcuffed.
