Yalexander Torres Rosario, 39, and Eric Torres, 34, are each charged with two counts of felonious assault in the Sept. 19 stabbing of Parsha Hardman in the 9th floor pod at the downtown jail.
Jailhouse surveillance cameras showed that Rosario, who was in jail on attempted murder and other charges, carried out the stabbing, according to a Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Department report. Torres — who has been jailed since July on charges related to the death of a man who was beaten in 2007 — is accused of accompanying Rosario, the report says.Rosario pleaded not guilty at his first appearance in the stabbing case on Tuesday in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court.
A sheriff’s department report says that Hardman told deputies that the shank was round, sharp and about 8 inches long, and it sank several inches into his back. Hardman declined to identify his assailants, but told deputies that he believed he was targeted because his attackers “did not like him,” the report says.Cuyahoga County Public Defender Cullen Sweeney, whose office is representing Torres in the murder case, declined to comment. An assistant public defender is also defending Hardman, so Sweeney said his office cannot represent Torres in the stabbing.
Torres is charged with involuntary manslaughter in connection to a 2007 attack that he already served prison time for. He pleaded guilty in 2008 to aggravated assault after prosecutors said he and another man, Nathaniel Stanley, pistol-whipped and beat a man during a robbery. The victim, Miguel Rivera, was left paralyzed from the attack.
