Three Indicted in Restrained Georgia Prisoner Mathew Ajibade's Death


Two Georgia sheriff's deputies and a health care worker have been indicted for involuntary manslaughter in connection with the death of a mentally ill man who was allegedly Tasered while in restraints and then left alone.

The Chatham County grand jury in Savannah declined to charge the officer accused of using the stun gun with felony murder, but it did indict him on charges of aggravated assault and cruelty to an inmate.

"It was too quick, and it's not enough," said Mark O'Mara, who is representing the family of Mathew Ajibade. "We're very frustrated only three people were charged or indicted."
