FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — A former Fulton County inmate got emotional as he said jail staff ignored his pleas for help during a medical emergency.
He claims their inaction led to the amputation of both his legs and his fingers, Channel 2’s Michael Seiden reports.
More than a dozen supporters and attorneys stood by the side of Rashaad Muhammad as he recounted it Wednesday.
He was booked into the Fulton County Jail in August. He is now in a wheelchair months later after doctors were forced to amputate both his legs and parts of his hands.
“I suffered in this place. I asked them for something simple like my medicine,” Muhammad said.
