一名康涅狄格州法官驳回了对三名新黑文港警察的刑事指控,他们被控虐待Richard “Randy”Cox。 2022年,当一辆没有安全带的警车突然刹车,将他扔入金属隔间时,Cox男子瘫痪。 A Connecticut judge dismissed criminal charges against three New Haven police officers accused of mistreating Richard “Randy” Cox, a man paralyzed in 2022 when a police van without seat belts braked suddenly, throwing him into a metal partition. 此次撤销是在缓刑计划允许撤销指控后作出的，法官以非恶意行为为由。 The dismissal followed a probation program allowing charges to be erased, with the judge citing non-malicious conduct. 监控录像显示,军官们嘲笑Cox,质疑他的伤势,并将他拖过车站。 Surveillance footage showed officers mocking Cox, questioning his injuries, and dragging him through the station. 另外两名官员以前曾对轻度轻率的危害犯罪表示服罪,没有服刑时间。 Two other officers had previously pleaded guilty to misdemeanor reckless endangerment and received no jail time. Cox的检察官和法律小组没有表示反对。 Prosecutors and Cox’s legal team did not object. 该案促使制定了全州囚犯安全带法和4 500万美元的民事解决办法。 The case prompted a statewide seat belt law for prisoners and a $45 million civil settlement. 该市开除了四名警官,但有一名在上诉后恢复了原职。 The city fired four officers, though one was reinstated after appeal.
