‘No One Is Held Accountable': Family Of Marvin Scott III Reacts To Grand Jury Decision To Not Indict Jailers

The family of Marvin Scott III spoke publicly for the first time Monday since a Collin County grand jury last month declined to indict the eight jailers who struggled with Scott at the jail prior to his death in March.

“He was killed by these jailers,” insists his mother, LaSandra Scott, “He suffered… he suffered.”

The family has been riding a river of grief and anger for months. They say the release last week of additional jailhouse footage of the events preceding Scott’s death should be a wake-up call for the community.
