A Florida Department of Law Enforcement video shows guards striking Anderson.
From The Associated Press
TALLAHASSEE - Politicians will meet today with the parents of a 14-year-old boy who died after being beaten by guards at a boot camp.
The Conference of Black State Legislators along with Martin Anderson’s parents want to know what is being done regarding allegations of conspiracy surrounding Anderson case.
The boy died in January, a day after guards at the now defunct Bay County Sheriff’s Office Boot Camp were videotaped striking the teenager. No arrests have been made in the case.
An initial autopsy by a Bay County medical examiner found Anderson died of complications of sickle cell trait, a usually benign blood disorder. But a second autopsy by the medical examiner for Hillsborough County found Anderson’s death was caused by suffocation due to the actions of the guards.
Anderson’s parents are suing for $40 million.
