Four previous detainment officials and a medical caretaker at a North Carolina prison have been accused of automatic homicide after a man died last December, a district attorney said Wednesday.
Forsyth County District Attorney Jim O'Neill declared the charges at a news gathering, media sources revealed.
John Neville, 57, died Dec. 4, 2019, four days after Kernersville police captured him on a crime accusation of an ambush on a female. Neville, who was dark-skinned, was limited and choked while in authority, causing a mind injury that prompted his death, O'Neill said.
It took seven months before the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office gave an announcement about his passing, provoked by inquiries from the Winston-Salem Journal. Prior to Wednesday, the sheriff's office had discharged just restricted data.
As indicated by the paper, the sheriff's office didn't advise the general population at the hour of Neville's death, and Sheriff Bobby Kimbrough said he didn't do so in light of the fact that Neville's family, and the family's legitimate counsel, asked him not to discharge any data openly. In an announcement, the sheriff's office said Neville “experienced a medical emergency,” and was taken to Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, where he later died.
