BALTIMORE (AP) - A prosecutor says an investigation that led to the indictment of 25 correctional officers in Baltimore started in 2018 with "rumors and anecdotes" about excessive force against jail inmates.
Some of those indicted officers faced excessive force claims before the investigation began.
In one of those cases, an inmate accused tactical team members of severely beating him while he was handcuffed and shackled at the Baltimore City Detention Center in October 2008. A settlement resolved the case in 2015.
