When Sawyer Rosenstein was 12, a punch from a bully changed his life forever, leaving him paralyzed, and at times, near death from the complications of his condition.
Now, six years after the assault, the New Jersey school board in the district where he was a student has agreed to a $4.2 million settlement.
It feels really great to finally have just a sense of closure
that this really difficult part of my life is behind me, Rosenstein, an 18-year-old freshman majoring in communication at Syracuse University, told msnbc.com. I can actually focus on all of the successful things that I am doing now and all of the successful plans that I have for my future.
The Rosensteins lawyer, Jeffrey Youngman, said the settlement was absolutely unique.
