Update 6/6/02 reference number given #113699
Sgt. Hines,
The situation is as follows: Wesley Brockway, white male, age 21, booking no. 7233564, CDC no. T52462 now in California State Prison, Calipatria (CAL) as level IV inmate until housing arrangements are available in level I. He was taken into custody by the La Verne PD on 4/1/02 and sentenced to 18 months state prison on 4/10/02 guilty of ADW, Not Firearm, W/GBI. From the first day that he was in custody, I would check the website www.lasd.org everyday at least four times a day. Whenever there was a change for any information, I would print out the webpage and file into a binder.
On Thursday, 4/18/02 at 11:40am, Wesley was moved to CJ module 4700. His cellmates included one white inmate drugged on psych medications and four black inmates. Black inmate no. 1 charged with rape-sodomy, kidnapping and mayhem (Crips gangmember facing a life sentence). Black inmate no. 2-Richard, charges not known (facing a life sentence). Black inmates no. 3 and no. 4 were supporting inmates no. 1 and no. 2 by instigating the hatred against Mr. Wesley Brockway once the in-cell beating began.
I last spoke to Mr. Wesley Brockway on Sunday, 4/21/02 at 4:00 p.m. During the phone conversation two of the four black inmates were given the courtesy of being able to make a couple of phone calls by me. I used the 3-way call function several times. I do remember one of their names as being “Paul”. Afterwards, I resumed my conversation with Mr. Wesley Brockway and we finished up the phone call and hung up.
Apparently, racial hate pamphlets were being distributed by other white inmates later in the evening of Sunday, 4/21/02. Inmate no. 2-Richard began assaulting Mr. Wesley Brockway by taking his throat and slamming him to the ground while screaming profanities. Next, inmate no. 2-Richard strangled and spat in the face of Mr. Wesley Brockway. He was in a delirious rage talking about demons then screaming racial hatred against the other race. He proceeded with great force and banged Mr. Wesley Brockway’s head against the cement floor for six minutes. Mr. Wesley Brockway was instructed to sit on his bunk while his breathing was difficult due to the earlier strangulation. At this time inmate no. 1 was screaming at the top of his lungs then with no warning he struck Mr. Wesley Brockway in the face with a boxer’s jab with his left fist. Dizziness and ear ringing were the only observations that Mr. Brockway could decipher. Inmate no. 1’s next move was to say “This one’s getting dealt with!”. Inmate no. 1 then took Mr. Brockway by his “blues” and threw him to the ground and began beating on him for 45 minutes. Inmate no. 2-Richard would intermittenly throw punches to Mr. Brockway’s body during the 45 minutes. The 45 minute beating included kicks to Mr. Brockway’s spinal cord. Blood began pouring out of Mr. Brockway’s eye and lower eyelid. There are more details but I will jump ahead.
Inmate no. 2 – Richard then flushed Mr. Brockway’s shirt down the drain because of the excess amount of blood. Morning arrived Monday, 4/22/02. The pill lady and a deputy came to check the cell so inmate no. 2-Richard quickly took Mr. Brockway’s booking no. and threatened Mr. Brockway to lie on his bunk with a blanket over his head. Mr. Brockway was sure that the deputy would demand that he present himself for the wristband check but inmates no. 1 and no. 2-Richard told the deputy that Mr. Brockway was sleeping. The pill lady and the deputy took their word and moved on. During the whole day Mr. Brockway was taunted while the blood pouring out soiled two towels and two shirts. When dinner arrived Mr. Brockway didn’t notice that the other white inmate had been taken elsewhere. The dinner was taken from Mr. Brockway as was the previous lunch. The only nourishment came from a couple of juices and pills that were forced on Mr. Brockway. When the time came for Mr. Brockway to urinate he was denied the use of the toilet for the whole day. The next wristband check by the deputy came around but Mr. Brockway was overlooked again because inmates no. 1 and inmate no. 2-Richard verbally stated Mr. Brockway’s booking no. Once sleep overtook most of the four black inmates. Inmate no. 1 sat on Mr. Brockway’s bunk with a razorblade in hand, he hit Mr. Brockway and said, “I’m getting life and I have nothing to lose by killing you!”.
Sgt. Hines,
I have to end this portion of the statement but will conclude with more. This detailed information was from a letter written by Mr. Brockway.
