Jail put 'violent' inmate in man's cell and he was killed within 45 minutes, suit says
Briefly

The lawsuit claims that Yuri Brand, a 39-year-old man with schizophrenia, was improperly housed with a violent sex offender, leading to his fatal assault in jail.
Attorney Adanté Pointer emphasized the negligence of staff in placing a non-violent detainee with a known violent offender, contributing to Brand's tragic death.
Despite being previously housed in mental health units, Brand was not provided appropriate care or medication during his detention, which raises serious concerns.
The legal team seeks accountability for the Alameda County Sheriff's decision to ignore Brand's mental health needs and place him at risk in jail.
