Two more police officers in New Haven, Connecticut, have been fired in connection with the case of Richard "Randy" Cox, a man who was paralyzed from the chest down during police transport last June. The officers, Betsy Segui and Oscar Diaz, were terminated by the New Haven Board of Police Commissioners following an internal affairs probe. This comes after two other officers involved in the incident were fired earlier. Cox reached a $45 million settlement with the city and all five officers have been arrested on misdemeanor charges. Segui and Diaz plan to appeal their terminations.
