Ajibade, 21, was found dead Jan. 1 strapped to a chair inside an isolation cell at the Chatham County Jail. The man had been stunned with a Taser while he was restrained, was left unmonitored, and a log book had been falsified to say that checks were conducted on him that hadn't been, according to the grand jury bill.
