There are disturbing new questions after a man who had been held at Rikers Island since April died there Saturday. As LisaRoznerTV reports, a judge is now demanding answers from the city.
Wednesday, Martin wrote a judge citing concerns about"potential reporting irregularities." Martin said the Department of Correction's legal counsel said"an autopsy revealed Valles died as a result of a fractured skull, in stark contrast to the headache or 'non-incident related condition or injury' that was reported."
"That has to have come from somewhere, something fractured his skull," said Kayla Simpson, a staff attorney with the Legal Aid Prisoners' Rights Project."The fact that that was not apparent to anyone, and that we still don't know how that occurred is incredibly disturbing."The DOC told us Valles was released and no longer in custody at the time of his death.Wednesday, a judge ordered the DOC provide more information by next Thursday for a hearing to be held June 13.
