Seven California Highway Patrol officers and a nurse were charged with involuntary manslaughter in connection with the 2020 death of a man who screamed 'I can't breathe' while multiple officers restrained him as they tried to take a blood sample.
LOS ANGELES — Prosecutors charged seven California Highway Patrol officers and a nurse with involuntary manslaughter on Wednesday in connection with the 2020 death of a man who screamed "I can't breathe" while multiple officers restrained him as they tried to take a blood sample.
"The officers had a legal duty to Mr. Bronstein," Gascón said during a news conference. "He was in their custody. We believe that they failed their duty and their failure was criminally negligent, causing his death." "I am saddened that Mr. Bronstein died while in our custody and care. Any death in custody is a tragedy that we take with upmost seriousness," Duryee said. "I recognize this case will now move through the court system, and I respect the judicial process."
