Robert Brooks death: Inmate fatally beaten at New York correctional facility | LiveNOW from FOX

Newly released body camera footage shows a handcuffed inmate being beaten unconscious by prison guards before he’s stripped down to his underwear in a fatal attack.

The recordings were made public by Attorney General Letitia James Friday showing three correction officers repeatedly punching, kicking and stomping on Robert Brooks in an examination room on Dec. 9 at upstate prison Marcy Correctional Facility.

Gov. Kathy Hochul fired over a dozen Marcy Correctional Facility staff after a deadly attack on inmate Robert Brooks.

Body-worn footage shows officers kicking Brooks, who was handcuffed, before his death on Dec. 10.

The footage made public Friday shows correctional officers repeatedly punching Brooks in the face and groin as he sits handcuffed on a medical examination table.

As one of the officers uses a shoe to strike Brooks in the stomach, another yanks him up by his neck and drops him back on the table. The officers then remove the man’s shirt and pants as he lies motionless and bloodied on his back.

New York AG James and the NYCLU cite the incident as part of a broader culture of violence in state prisons.

The final results of Brooks’ autopsy are still pending.

Preliminary findings from a medical examination indicate "concern for asphyxia due to compression of the neck as the cause of death, as well as the death being due to actions of another," according to court filings.

Brooks had been serving a 12-year prison sentence for first-degree assault since 2017. He had arrived at the Marcy Correctional Facility only hours before the beating, after being transferred from another nearby state prison, officials said.

Marcy is about 200 miles (323 kilometers) northwest of New York City, between the cities of Rome and Utica.
