Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. said jail captain Rebecca Hillman showed callous disregard for Ryan Wilson by ordering officers not to perform potentially lifesaving measures and leaving him hanging in a locked cell for about 15 minutes.
Hillman pleaded not guilty at an arraignment Monday. She is also charged with lying in her written account of the death that she acted immediately to help Wilson. The charges were not eligible for monetary bail, prosecutors said. Her next court date is July 28.
