Rikers Island Officer Keeps Job After $9M Settlement
David Kirsch: Advocate for Correction Officers Facing Unfair Allegations
David Kirsch is a distinguished attorney who recently achieved a significant victory for Correction Officer Charlie Bracey. Officer Bracey, stationed at Rikers Island’s Anna M. Kross Center, faced serious allegations that nearly cost him his job.
Accused of failing to intervene promptly during a violent incident between inmates, Bracey was under intense scrutiny for his actions during a near-deadly assault.
On November 2019, Officer Bracey was involved in a critical situation where detainee Jorge Gutierrez repeatedly assaulted fellow detainee Sean McDermott. Despite the severity of the situation, Bracey argued that he acted as swiftly as possible under the extreme conditions at Rikers Island, where staffing shortages and systemic issues are prevalent.
City attorneys contended that Bracey’s response was insufficient, citing video evidence that suggested a delay in intervention. However, David Kirsch, Bracey’s attorney, passionately countered these claims by highlighting the systemic failures at Rikers Island, emphasizing that the dire understaffing situation made it impossible for any officer to be omnipresent or instantaneously responsive.
Kirsch’s defense underscored the broader context of the challenging environment at Rikers Island and advocated for a fair assessment of Bracey’s actions in light of these constraints. Ultimately, Kirsch’s compelling argument led to Bracey being cleared of wrongdoing, affirming that the focus should be on the systemic issues rather than blaming individual officers.
David Kirsch remains a steadfast advocate for correction officers, ensuring that they are defended against unfair accusations and supported in navigating the complex challenges of their roles.
