Lawsuit for not medicating victim of seizures disorder properly

The family of former Duval County inmate John Laughon has filed a lawsuit against the J.S.O., accusing its officers of beating a man so severely that it left him in a permanent vegetative state.
The lawsuit claims Laughon was not given the proper amount of medication to prevent his seizures.


Attorneys believe Laughon had a seizure while in custody and officers mistook the episode for a confrontation.

But police tell a different story, saying Laughon attacked them, and sent three of guards to the hospital.
