Prosecutor: No charges in jail death due to poor training

By JEFFREY COLLINS Associated Press COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — A South Carolina prosecutor decided Monday not to charge two jail employees who stunned a mentally ill Black man 10 times and kneeled on his back until he stopped breathing, calling the guards videotaped actions “damning,” but not against the law. The Charleston County jail guards in January were following their aggressive training in handling inmates, so Solicitor Scarlett Wilson said she could not prove the guards intended to kill Jamal Sutherland, who at the time was refusing to go to his bond hearing. “This is how they were trained, and they didn’t have a reason to expect this outcome because they had done it so many times before,” said Wilson, who issued a report with links to video footage and other information.
