Martin Lee Anderson's parents to meet with Bush today

By Stephen Price
September 27, 2006

The parents of Martin Lee Anderson will have a press conference this morning at 11 to discuss a meeting with Gov. Jeb Bush and their concern that no one has been held accountable in the death of their 14-year-old son.

Hillsborough State Attorney Mark Ober is investigating the Panama City teen's death.

Anderson died Jan. 6, a day after he was restrained, hit and kneed by guards at the Bay County juvenile boot camp.

An autopsy done by Bay County Medical Examiner Dr. Charles Siebert said Anderson died from sickle-cell trait, or natural causes.

A second autopsy, done by Hillsborough County Medical Examiner Dr. Vernard Adams, said Anderson died from suffocation by guards at the boot camp who forced ammonia tablets into his nose while covering his mouth.
