PENSACOLA, Fla. AP – Martin Lee Anderson walked onto the exercise yard of a Panama City boot camp for troubled teens nearly two years ago. Within hours, a grainy camp surveillance tape showed, he was struck repeatedly by guards as a nurse watched and soon collapsed. The 14 year old was carried off on a stretcher and died the next day.
On Monday, prosecutors and defense attorneys are set to begin the tedious process of selecting the six jurors and four alternates who will decide the fate of seven guards and nurse accused of aggravated manslaughter of a child in Anderson’s January 2006 death.
