On Monday, a federal jury awarded the family of Elliott Williams more than $10 million after a wrongful death lawsuit against the Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office.
Williams, a 37-year-old Army veteran, somehow broke his neck while he was incarcerated (how remains a mystery), which resulted in paralysis.
He was left on the floor of a cell in the Tulsa Jail’s medical unit for five days.
Let that sink in: After five days of being left cold, naked, soaked in his own urine and covered in his own feces, unable to move – Williams died alone on that jail floor.
Williams was arrested by Owasso police in the lobby of a Residence Inn by Marriott hotel.
