Martin Anderson is going to tell us what happened today. We believe completely that we are going to get answers. |
Obviously they lied to medical personnel that could have saved Martin's life. |
The damage to his internal organs wasn't caused from this alleged sickle cell trait. He (the medical examiner) doesn't want to address the issue of internal bleeding. What caused this internal bleeding? |
The family is gravely concerned whether they will get justice or not. You have to worry about small-town justice in a place like Panama City. |
The medical community around the world has said the sickle cell trait alone will not kill you. It could be a factor, but it certainly wouldn't kill you. It wouldn't explain the internal bleeding or any of those things. |
The medical examiner said he died from internal bleeding. One thing we do know is that damage to his internal organs wasn't caused from this alleged sickle-cell trait. |
The students are doing what's right. The family is appreciative. |
There are kids who did things 100 times worse than to go joyriding in your grandmother's car; you don't get the death sentence for that in America. |
We are encouraged, but conscientious. There needs to be a strong message that our state leaders will not condone this. |
We are working on the arrangements.... Saying (Anderson) died of sickle cell trait is like saying a man who was lynched died because he had a weak neck. |
We argued to the judge that miracles like this are wonderful, but they do come with a price. |
We don't know if it's a homicide. They say it's self-inflicted. We say we don't believe it's self-inflicted. |
We haven't ruled anything out. |
We know it's going to be a long journey to get justice. The family is committed, and we are going to stay the course. |
What you all have done in the last 48 hours, that's history. It is history because it's the young folks who are doing the leading today. |
