Panama City, Fla:
Today marks one year since seven former juvenile boot camp employees were found not guilty on charges in the death of a teenager.
Martin Anderson, 14, died on January 6, 2006, one day after he collapsed while running on his first day at the Bay County Boot Camp.
An autopsy found Anderson died a natural death from complications of sickle cell trait, but a second report found he died from suffocation.
The six former guards and the nurse who were on the field with Anderson when he collapsed were accused of negligence and charged with aggravated manslaughter in Anderson’s death.
On October 12, 2007, a jury acquitted all seven defendants on all charges.
The fallout from the case continues. The U.S. Attorney’s Office is still investigating whether the boot camp employees violated Anderson’s civil rights.
One of the former guards, Charles Helms, is suing the Bay County Sheriff’s Office to get his old job back.
The medical examiner who conducted the first autopsy, Dr. Charles Siebert, was removed from office by a state panel.
Martin Anderson’s family received a total of $7.4 million in settlements with the Bay County Sheriff’s Office and the State of Florida.
