A Grand Jury Decides Not to Indict the Jailers Involved in the Death of an Inmate
A grand jury in Texas declined Tuesday to indict the eight former detention officers involved in the in-custody death of Marvin Scott III, according to a news release from Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis.
Scott died in March after being placed on a restraint bed, pepper-sprayed, and having a spit mask put on his face while in custody at the Collin County Detention Facility.
The county medical examiner ruled his death a homicide.
Seven detention officers were fired and one resigned following Scott’s death.
