2nd Autopsy: Guards Suffocated Boy At Boot Camp
(AP) TAMPA, Fla.
" A 14-year-old boy kicked and punched by guards at a juvenile boot camp died because the sheriff's officials suffocated him, a medical examiner said Friday, contradicting a colleague who blamed the death on a usually benign blood disorder..... His family had questioned the initial finding by Dr. Charles Siebert, the Bay County Medical Examiner, that the boy died of complications of sickle cell trait.
Every so often I take a slightly cynical view of autopsies in Florida. Even the videotape of the deputies beating that kid wasn’t enough for this idiot.
