Fullerton, Wilson and two other officers were charged in connection with 18-year-old Nicholas Feliciano's suicide attempt at the Rikers Island jail complex on Nov. 27, 2019. Prosecutors said jail guards were seen on surveillance video walking past Feliciano and taking no action for seven minutes and 51 seconds. An investigation report by the city Board of Correction later found that the officers believed Feliciano was faking a suicide attempt. David Rankin, a lawyer for Feliciano's family, said they are “gratified” that the two guards took responsibility in pleading guilty. The Correction Officers’ Benevolent Association has called the officers' indictments politically motivated and called on prosecutors to charge inmates who assault guards.
