Sgt. James Brown, 26, Survived Two Tours in Iraq Only to Die Begging for His Life in Texas Jail
Sgt. James Brown checked in jail for a two-day sentence over a court fine. But even though he was supposed to have been let out once his mother paid the fine, that never happened. He was denied release and medical attention and died.
The active-duty soldier had served two tours of duty in Iraq and informed the jail that he suffered from PTSD.
A video gone public reveals guards swarming on top of him as he repeatedly says he can’t breathe and appears not to resist. By the end of the video, he is shown naked, not blinking or responding, his breathing shallow. Attorneys say an ambulance was never called. Brown was eventually brought to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead
Brown’s mother, is Dinetta Scott.
