for an update on the investigation, they told us it s ongoing and they wouldn t comment. the school says that no one else will take their students and that the electric shocks are better than huge amounts of prescription drugs. to be sure, the school has many supporters. parents who swear their kids are alive because of these shocks. but the national council on disabilities and many other critics said that the electric shocks that jrc uses are contrary to federal policy and at odds with mental health resources. what s more, an investigation found that students were being shocked for a wide range of behaviors that weren t by any measure aggressive, destructive or dangerous. for instance, nagging, swearing and, quote, failing to maintain a neat appearance. they were shocked for not being neat enough. recently a former teacher s aide at the school told us pretty much the same thing. a kid drinks out of a paper cup and finishes his water and then tears the paper cup. you have t

documents and this is all the information that the prosecution is now bringing forward that they have filed and must make available to the defense team. this is why this information is coming out now of the the special prosecutor, angela curry s office filed this information on monday. the medical report that shows the bruising on the knuckles, the autopsy report, when it comes to trayvon martin, the attorney for trayvon martin s family would say, look, trayvon martin was in the fight of his life against george zimmerman, and that s all this autopsy report would seem to reveal. ben crump speaking last night. listen. trayvon was fighting for his life. and you re saying that s why he would have injuries on his hands? absolutely. he was standing his ground. it was self-defense. if somebody got a gun, i want to fight for my life. so there you hear from ben crump, the attorney that represents trayvon martin s family. they don t necessarily say that the autopsy reports of
