The five New Haven, Connecticut, police officers charged in the case of Richard 'Randy' Cox, a Black man who was paralyzed while being transported in custody, pleaded not guilty during an arraignment hearing.
Both charges are misdemeanors and the officers were each released on a $25,000 bond.
ABC News reached out to the attorneys representing Diaz, Pressley, Lavandier and Rivera for further comment. The charges filed by New Haven's state attorney John P. Doyle, Jr. against the officers stemmed from a June 19, 2022 incident when the officers arrested Cox for criminal possession of a firearm and breach of peace. Surveillance video shows the officers then placed Cox in the back of a police van without seatbelts. During an abrupt stop, Cox was thrown headfirst into the back wall of the van.
"[Randy] is essentially quadriplegic. He's in a rehab facility. He can't feed himself, he can't clean himself, he can't relieve himself without assistance," O'Donnell said on Tuesday.
