Correctional Officer Michael Ortlieb – Herkimer County Sheriff’s Office

C.O. Michael Ortlieb was involved in the events leading to inmate DiCamillo’s death on June 30, 2006. He observed DiCamillo’s falls and complaints of swollen ankles but did not ensure he received appropriate medical care. During his shift, DiCamillo fell multiple times, and C.O. Ortlieb’s responses were deemed inadequate in addressing the inmate’s medical needs. A lawsuit was filed alleging negligence by C.O. Ortlieb and other staff members for failing to provide necessary medical attention, contributing to DiCamillo’s death.

Why This Matters

By organizing this data, we can potentially demonstrate when officers were previously aware of laws they later claim ignorance of, challenging qualified immunity defenses and promoting accountability.
