Update 4: Doctor: Boot Camp Teen Likely Suffocated


A teen who died after guards punched and kicked him at a boot camp likely was suffocated during the confrontation and was brain dead when he was brought to a hospital, a pathologist told lawmakers Friday.

Dr. Michael Baden observed the second autopsy performed on 14-year-old Martin Lee Anderson on Monday in Tampa. He was there on behalf of Anderson's family, who disputes the original autopsy, which found the boy died of complications of sickle cell trait, a usually benign blood disorder many blacks have.

Speaking by telephone from New York, Baden told the state House Criminal Justice Committee that Anderson did not die of natural causes.

No guards have been arrested or fired. The camp no longer houses any juveniles and is being closed.

1. SOP for the Bush family. Explains a lot.

2. This has echoes of the Nixonian "mistakes were made"

cop out. If nobody did anything wrong why are they closing the camp? Sounds to me like somebody fucked up big time and a big giant coverup is kicking in. Too bad the media don't have the cojones to dig into things like this. Much more interesting to go to Aruba to track missing blonde chicks I guess.

3. Close the camp, get jobs at another one.

murder. They need to be arrested for at least manslaughter if not murder.
