Dinwiddie County’s top prosecutor is moving to essentially drop the cases against the remaining two people charged in the death of Irvo Otieno.
Henrico Sheriff’s Deputies Kaiyell Sanders and Brandon Rodgers are both currently charged with manslaughter in the Otieno case and are awaiting trial.
The Henrico man died last year while in custody at Central State Hospital, after being transported there from the Henrico County Jail in the midst of a mental health crisis.

A nolle prosse is not an outright dismissal, meaning charges could technically be revisited in the future.
