Gov. Jeb Bush Asks Florida Sheriff to Fire Former Boot Camp Supervisor
By BILL KACZOR

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. May 10, 2006 (AP)— Gov. Jeb Bush has written Bay County's sheriff urging him to fire the former supervisor of a juvenile boot camp where guards roughed up a 14-year-old boy who later died.

Bush's letter to Sheriff Frank McKeithen was released by the governor's office Wednesday. It was written Friday, when a medical examiner said a second autopsy on Martin Lee Anderson found that he had been suffocated.

Dr. Vernard Adams said the boy couldn't breathe because hands were over his mouth as guards forced him to inhale ammonia fumes. The guards said in a report that they were using ammonia to revive Anderson. The first autopsy found that he died naturally from complications of sickle cell trait, a usually benign blood disorder.

The Jan. 5 struggle was captured on videotape and generated protests in the Capitol. The handling of the investigation prompted a protest march to the state Capitol, an overnight sit-in at Bush's office and the resignation of the state's top law enforcement official.

1. Why? Not expeditious enough for the family standards?
Why is the ABC trying to give Jebbie points in this tragedy? Oh, right!
Make, announce, type.
