Two deputies are currently presumed innocent and have been placed on administrative leave for the time being. Law professor Mark Rabil said this has been standard practice for decades. “The State Bureau of Investigation will then come in and interview the officer, and they’ll look at body cam footage, listen to the 911 recordings and to whatever the witnesses had to say originally.
