Graphic video captures Irvo Otieno's fatal restraint by Virginia deputies and hospital staff.

Video footage shows Henrico County Sheriff's deputies and hospital staff restraining Irvo Otieno, who was handcuffed and shackled at the ankles, and pinning him to the ground for an estimated 12 minutes before he is rendered unconscious and ultimately dies. Lifesaving measures are attempted on Otieno for over an hour before he is pronounced dead. Seven Henrico County Sheriff's deputies and three Central State Hospital employees have been charged with second-degree murder. Defense attorneys have requested that the Dinwiddie Commonwealth's Attorney be stopped from releasing the video.

Henrico Deputies Accused of Smothering and Pepper-Spraying Inmate in Cell.

Seven deputies with the Henrico County Sheriff's Office have been charged with second-degree murder after video evidence allegedly showed them holding Irvo Otieno down for 12 minutes as he lay, handcuffed, on the floor of Central State Hospital. The Commonwealth's Attorney alleged that the deputies smothered Otieno and pepper-sprayed him in his cell. The prosecution also claimed that the deputies washed the handcuffs used to restrain Otieno, returned them to their police cruiser, and did not call Virginia State Police until 3 and a half hours after Otieno's death.
