Kansas deputy pressed knee into cuffed Black man for 86 seconds, records show

Richard Fatherly was charged with second-degree murder in the death of Charles Adair, arrested a day before his death

A white Kansas sheriff's deputy charged with murder in the death of an incarcerated Black person shoved his knee into the cuffed man's back for 1 minute and 26 seconds after he was wheeled back to his cell from the infirmary, newly released court records show.

Richard Fatherly was charged last month with second-degree murder and an alternative count of involuntary manslaughter in Charles Adair's 5 July death in the Wyandotte county detention center in Kansas City, Kansas. Adair had been arrested one day before his death on misdemeanor warrants for failure to appear on multiple traffic violations.
