Trial for boot camp killing begins
Yesterday, the trial began for seven former boot camp guards and a nurse in the killing of Martin Lee Anderson.
Anderson was killed in an incident with the guards to kicked him, beat him and forced him to inhale ammonia tablets in the thirty-minute encounter.
Initially, a local Florida medical examiner reported that Martin died from an “undiagnosed sickle cell trait”. The family, doubting such claims, called for a second autopsy. The findings of that autopsy concluded that Martin was suffocated when “guards suffocated Anderson with their hands over his mouth and nose and by making him breathe ammonia.”
Each of the defendents face charges of the manslaughter of a child and could each receive up to 30 years in prison, if convicted.
