Show Notes
Three former police academy instructors face manslaughter charges in the death of recruit Enrique Delgado-Garcia, who died from training injuries in 2024. The instructors, including Sergeant Jennifer Penton and troopers David Montanez and Edwin Rodriguez, pleaded not guilty. A fourth trooper, Casey LaMonte, will be arraigned in April. The recruit, who was sworn in as a trooper on his deathbed, died after taking repeated hard hits to the head during a defensive tactics boxing drill. Prosecutors allege the instructors caused serious bodily harm, with Penton also facing perjury charges. The case marks a push for accountability in police training, as a separate review of the academys training practices continues.
