Grand-jury transcripts of Daniel Prude’s cop-related death released

Grand-jury transcripts in the police-involved suffocation death of Daniel Prude were publicly released Friday — an unprecedented move in New York, officials said.

The jury panel decided not to indict the Rochester police officers involved in the incident after hearing testimony and reviewing evidence over nine days spanning from October to February. Prude suffered a mental-health episode on March 23, 2020, and police body-camera footage showed seven responding cops laughing while Prude was naked and cuffed with a mesh bag over his head.
