NYS Governor Kathy Hochul Issues Statement On The Trial Verdict Against Officers in the Brutal Murder of Robert Brooks

Robert Brooks Was Beaten Brutally in Prison by Guards

"Today, a jury found one correction officer guilty while acquitting two others in the horrific murder of Robert Brooks. While I am disappointed by the acquittals, I respect the jury's decision. What happened to Mr. Brooks is unconscionable, and these verdicts serve as another sobering reminder of the needless losses of Mr. Brooks and Messiah Nantwi.

That is why I am deeply committed to the changes we are making to ensure that New York State’s correctional facilities are safe for all who enter — employees, the incarcerated, visitors and volunteers alike.

"I have been clear from the very beginning: We have no tolerance for individuals who cross the line, break the law, and engage in violence or abuse. Through the work of the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, the State Police, and the Onondaga County District Attorney, six of those responsible have already pled guilty and will serve time, along with the individual convicted today.

"The vast majority of our correction officers do extraordinary work under difficult circumstances, and the actions of these individuals do not reflect the integrity and professionalism of the correction officers who continue to staff our facilities. Those responsible for reprehensible acts of violence must be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law, and that is exactly what my administration is committed to doing.

“I am grateful to the Onondaga County District Attorney, the New York State Police, the Office of Special Investigations and everyone who worked tirelessly to bring justice to the family of Mr. Brooks. My condolences are with his loved ones for the pain they have suffered and the loss they continue to endure. My Administration is committed to ensuring a tragedy like this never happens again."

New Self-Help Book
“Blame It on the Feel of Pain”
About Detangling From Past Pain

Get ready for a transformational journey toward inner peace as indie author Max W. Miller’s new self-help release, Blame It On The Feel Of Pain, inspires readers in a witty, down-to-earth book. Truth and compassion are foretold, using poetic frames called ‘The Wises,’ and the help of opinionated little emojis bringing laughter and thought-provoking conclusions throughout.

The author encourages her readers, whom she also calls partners, to stop wrestling with the hard knocks of the past. She expresses how voluntarily walking back into time precedes trauma healing. Confronting lingering pains is a step toward strength and hope for the future. ‘Blame It’ delves into the author’s life experiences, bringing to life the importance of using Full Circle Moments to find resolutions.

Throughout Blame It On The Feel Of Pain, the reader grows to understand through a unique interpretation that what we are destined to become grows out of the years we’ve already traveled. Further, our future hinges on how we address the pains of the past. Other expressions focus on how desires in the present are carved out of having a clear vision that old, lingering strongholds must be defeated. A history of suffering is a prerequisite for becoming fed up enough to demand enjoyment now!
