By (0)
Feb. 23 (UPI) A New York grand jury chose not to indict any Rochester police officers involved in the arrest of a man that resulted in his death by asphyxiation, state Attorney General Letitia James announced Tuesday.
Speaking from the Aenon Missionary Baptist Church, she said the grand jury determined none of the seven officers present during the March 23 arrest of Daniel Prude, 41, committed any crimes.

James office believed there was sufficient evidence to warrant the grand jury investigation because the current laws on deadly force have created a system that utterly and abjectly failed Prude, a statement said.
