This 2010 photo provided by the family shows Anthony Talotta posing for a portrait. Talotta’s family was working with attorneys to get the 57-year-old autistic man out of the Allegheny County Jail, where he had been taken on September 10, 2022 after a physical altercation with a staff member at the group home where he lived.
The lawsuit also notes that at least 17 people died at the medically understaffed jail in a two-and-a-half year timeframe from March 2020 to September 2022, the majority of whom had mental health or chronic medical needs. The lawsuit alleges negligence in hiring Bernales without thoroughly researching his license issues in other states. It also alleges denial or delay of medical care, lack of supervision and training, wrongful death and discrimination.Bernales, who is now living in Nevada, said he has never had any malpractice issues and called the medical license issues in other states "administrative concerns.
"He just said he was scared and asked how he was going to get out of that place... so that's what we were working on," Lagrotteria said, adding that no one from the group home or the jail told him about the injury from the fight either. "For years, he was taken care of by the group homes, and there were no issues. As soon as he gets into the jail, he got treated so horribly he died within days.
Talotta was taken to a hospital two times as his injuries worsened, according to the lawsuit. He was ordered not to put weight on his foot, but jail staff removed a walking boot and took away his crutches because those devices were not allowed in the mental health unit. Speaking to The Associated Press on Tuesday, Bernales challenged that narrative and the medical records, saying Talotta was allowed to keep the wound care supplies. He said the boot and crutches were taken away because no prisoners are allowed to have them since they could be made into weapons.
