As federal prosecutors tell it, the cover-up in Ronald Spear's death started immediately after he died from a brutal kick to the head from a guard at the Rikers Island jail complex, with correction officers taking advantage of a code of silence condoned by commanders and union representatives.

For a while it worked. Authorities say Brian Coll — the former correction officer who kicked Spear to death — once even bragged after learning the state declined to bring charges: "I beat the case."

But U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said his office cracked the code at the troubled New York City jail, eventually getting two guards to cooperate and learning new details about the death of the 52-year-old prisoner, a bespectacled man suffering from end-stage renal disease who usually walked with a cane, received regular dialysis and wore a bracelet warning he was a "risk of fall."

In civil rights cases, "Without a videotape or a cooperating witness and where a cover-up or code of silence prevails, they can be impossible to bring," Bharara told a news conference announcing the arrests Wednesday of Coll, 45, of Smithtown; corrections Officer Byron Taylor, 31, of Brentwood and a guilty plea by a cooperating former guard, Anthony Torres, 49, of New Rochelle.
