Two police officers were charged in the death of a mentally ill homeless man in Southern California who was beaten and repeatedly shocked with a stun gun during his arrest, authorities said Wednesday.
Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackauckas said Officer Manuel Ramos was charged with one count each of second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter in the death of 37-year-old Kelly Thomas after a violent confrontation on July 5 with officers.
Police Cpl. Jay Cicinelli was charged with one count each of involuntary manslaughter and excessive force.
The prosecutors said Thomas was acting “in self-defense, in pain and in a state of panic. His numerous pleas of `I’m sorry,’ `I can’t breathe,’ `Help’ `Dad’ — all to no avail. Screams, loud screams, didn’t help.”
Six officers were placed on paid administrative leave after the incident that occurred while police were investigating reported vehicle break-ins at a transit hub.
Thomas suffered severe head and neck injuries and was taken off life support five days later.
Thomas suffered from schizophrenia and lived on the streets even though he received support from family and friends.
Police said Thomas ran when officers tried to search his bag. A struggle followed when they tried to arrest him for investigation of possession of stolen goods.
Video from a bystander’s cell phone taken from a distance showed parts of the bloody encounter in which Thomas can be heard screaming for his father.
Surveillance video aboard a bus showed agitated passengers telling the driver that officers beat and repeatedly used a stun gun during the arrest.
After the incident, the police chief went on medical leave and the embattled City Council hired a law enforcement expert to investigate Police Department practices.
Incensed community members held demonstrations and started an effort to recall the mayor and two councilmembers over the incident.
Ron Thomas, the father of the dead man, filed a claim seeking damages from the city.
He has previously released his son’s medical records showing Thomas suffered broken bones in his face, choked on his own blood and was repeatedly shocked with two stun guns.

In a 6-3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court has given Lower Slate Lake in the Tongass National Forest of Alaska, a death sentence. The ruling overturns a 9th District Court decision that revoked the permit issued by the Army Corps of Engineers that allowed Coeur Alaska’s Kensington gold mine to dump its mine tailings directly into the lake, killing all aquatic life in it. The Clean Water Act clearly states that you can’t dump mine waste into a water body, but the Corp of Engineers cleverly changed the name “waste” to “fill” and permitted the action, essentially killing the lake.

A coroner is a government official who investigates human deaths. The Coroner’s Office usually has the responsibility to determine the cause of death, issue a death certificate, and maintain death records. Local laws define the deaths a coroner must investigate. Those include deaths that are sudden, unexpected, and have no attending physician. A Coroner will also investigate a death which is suspicious or violent. Depending on a state’s laws, a Coroner may determine the cause of death personally, or may act as the presiding officer of a coroner’s jury. Our guest today is Steve Nonn, the Coroner of Madison County Illinois. Coroner Nonn was first elected in 2000 and was reelected in 2004 and 2008. Prior to his election as Coroner, Steve Nonn was a Lieutenant in the Detective Division of the Madison County Sheriff’s Department. He also served as a member of the St. Louis Major Case Squad from 1980 through 2000. Conversation with Lee Presser is a weekly half hour television program seen for over ten years in the St. Louis market on Charter Cable TV.
