In a news conference Wednesday morning, lawyers for John Laughon showed documents from Shands Jacksonville that show Laughon's injuries were consistent with assault.
Laughon was arrested in 2005 on marijuana charges. While in jail, sources with the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office say he attacked jail guards.
However, Laughon’s family says he was wasn't getting his required medications and had a seizure. They also claim a beating by guards left him in a vegetative state and are officially filing a law suit.
“The doctor, in her own handwriting, wrote a diagnosis. The first line says assault. This is what the doctors concluded happened,” said attorney Sean Cronin. “These injures are not consistent with someone having a seizure at the jail.”
Lawyers say that this is significant because jail guards said previously that when Laughon was taken to the hospital after he was subdued, he was fine.
