The Collin County Sheriff's office in Texas has released 41 minutes of jail security video showing the in-custody death of Marvin Scott III that occurred on March 14.
The sheriff's office said it was releasing the video because Sheriff Jim Skinner had promised Scott's family there would be transparency regarding the investigation and facts surrounding his death. Scott died while in custody at the Collin County Detention Center after being placed on a restraint bed, pepper-sprayed, and having a spit mask put on his face. Seven detention officers were fired and one resigned following Scott's death.
