 TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - The family of a teenager who died after being roughed up by juvenile boot camp guards last year will receive $5 million under a bill signed Wednesday by Gov. Charlie Crist.
Martin Lee Anderson, 14, died in January 2006 shortly after being kneed and struck and having ammonia tablets held to his nose at the military-style facility run by the Bay County Sheriff's Office in Panama City.
Crist and several other lawmakers successfully pushed for the settlement this spring despite the Legislature's general distaste for claims measures.
