Overview
- A Oneida County jury found David Kingsley guilty of second-degree murder and first-degree manslaughter, while Mathew Galliher and Nicholas Kieffer were acquitted of all charges.
- The judge revoked Kingsley’s bail after the verdict; he faces up to 25 years to life at a December sentencing.
- Passively recorded, soundless body-worn camera footage captured the assault inside Marcy Correctional Facility, and an autopsy ruled the death a homicide caused by neck compression and blunt-impact injuries.
- New York’s corrections agency said the two acquitted former officers will not be rehired or reinstated despite their eligibility to seek it.
- Several other guards have pleaded guilty in the case, a separate January trial is set for Michael Fisher, and the special prosecutor says a federal investigation is underway.
