Two Henrico County deputies may soon be free of charges in Irvo Otieno's death. A judge in Dinwiddie County has agreed to withdraw the charges against deputies Kaiyell Sanders and Brandon Rodgers. Dinwiddie Commonwealth's Attorney Amanda Mann requested the charges be dropped. She says after a previous suspect was found not guilty, it became clear Sanders and Rodgers were likely to also be acquitted. Mann tells CBS 6 she knows this is difficult news for Otieno's family and friends, and she sympathizes with them. Otieno died over a year ago at Central State Hospital while in the custody of Henrico County deputies.
