Martin Lee Anderson




Died January 6, 2006

 In Memory of Martin
 Written by Isabelle Zehnder

 I knew taking grandma's car was bad, I never knew it would make them so mad
 I was only there a very short time, When six men grabbed me, pulled me out of line
 I just got there, it was only my first day, I didn’t understand why they were treating me this
 way?
 They mocked me, they shoved me, They pushed me, they beat me
 Just when I thought that I might die, I saw a lady out of the corner of my eye
 I thought, “Dear God, she's here to save me”, But she stood there, hands on hips, and let
 them berate me
 They were so big and I was small, I knew that I had no chance at all
 No matter how I cried, They did not stop until I died
 They beat me until that final blow, At least it was caught on video
 I know one thing, I didn't deserve to die, I just wanted to see my mama one last time

7/12/06 - AP writer Brent Kallestad reported: "A video proves that as seven guards punished Martin by kicking, punching, kneeing, choking and slamming him while they jammed ammonia tablets up his nose and covered his mouth, a nurse watched him slip in and out of consciousness," Crump said at a news conference. "These heinous, malicious and torturous treatments led to his death." (click here)
