Press release, Charles B. Roberts, Attorney at Law: “Brandon Nutter, 28, was trapped in the rear access area of a compactor at his Spotsylvania County job and killed on July 7, 2022. His family is devastated not only by his death but by the horrific way he senselessly died.”
“Immediately after his death, the Virginia Occupational Safety and Health Department (VOSH) and the Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Office began investigating. In their Reports, both concluded that the failure of County employees to comply with federal, state, and County safety and training measures was the cause of his death. When the Sheriff’s Detective asked the County Safety Officer for a copy of the safety and training documents for employees, she was unable to supply any.”
