Three of the state correction officers charged in the death of Robert Brooks — the incarcerated individual who died at Marcy Correctional Facility — are being given more time to discuss their plea deals.

A judge granted requests made by Nicholas Anzalone, Nicholas Gentile and Nicholas Kiefer to have that decision deadline pushed back to later this month. 

They are among the six charged with murder in the beating death of Brooks. Ten people in total were indicted as a result of an investigation into Brooks' death, with charges including manslaughter, gang assault, offering a false instrument for filing and one person faces a count of tampering with physical evidence.

All 10 have been offered plea deals.

The charges stem from an incident at Marcy Correctional caught on body-worn cameras, triggering widespread outrage and calls for justice. Body camera footage released by the New York attorney general’s office shows correctional officers hitting Brooks while he was restrained at the prison on Dec. 9. He died the next day at a hospital in Utica.

An autopsy report issued by the county medical examiner’s office in January concluded that Brooks’ death was caused by compression of the neck and multiple blunt impact injuries and that the manner of death was determined to be a homicide, according to Brooks' family attorneys. Brooks had been serving a 12-year prison sentence for first-degree assault since 2017.
