flag A Connecticut judge dismissed criminal charges against three New Haven police officers accused of mistreating Richard “Randy” Cox, a man paralyzed in 2022 when a police van without seat belts braked suddenly, throwing him into a metal partition. flag The dismissal followed a probation program allowing charges to be erased, with the judge citing non-malicious conduct. flag Surveillance footage showed officers mocking Cox, questioning his injuries, and dragging him through the station. flag Two other officers had previously pleaded guilty to misdemeanor reckless endangerment and received no jail time. flag Prosecutors and Cox’s legal team did not object. flag The case prompted a statewide seat belt law for prisoners and a $45 million civil settlement. flag The city fired four officers, though one was reinstated after appeal.
