Overview
- LaMonte, the fourth academy instructor charged, pleaded not guilty in Worcester Superior Court on Wednesday and was released on personal recognizance.
- The judge ordered him to avoid contact with potential witnesses and set a June 16 pretrial conference.
- Lieutenant Jennifer Penton and troopers Edwin Rodriguez and David Montanez entered not guilty pleas in April to involuntary manslaughter and causing serious bodily injury, and they remain free without bail.
- Prosecutors say the instructors let Enrique Delgado-Garcia box a day after he showed concussion-like symptoms and failed to follow required safety procedures.
- Prosecutors also allege supervisors altered training records after the bouts, while State Police have suspended the four instructors, halted boxing for recruits, and await an unreleased outside review by the International Association of Chiefs of Police.
