OAKLAND, Calif. – Nine deputies and two medical staff charged with the Santa Rita Jail death of an Oakland man are expected to make their first court appearance on Monday following the revelation that KTVU exposed last year that no one had performed a meaningful check on him for several days, despite the fact that he refused any food and lay dying in his cell until his body was discovered.
