Back in the United States, the state of Florida has agreed to pay $5 million to the family of a 14-year-old who died after guards at a juvenile “boot camp” beat him last year. The teenager, Martin Lee Anderson, was initially said to have died of a complication from sickle cell blood disease. But a second autopsy later concluded he suffocated to death. Video footage shows Anderson collapsing to the ground after one of the guards hit him from behind. Seven guards and one nurse have been charged with aggravated manslaughter.
