Madfloridian's Journal - Boot Camp Nurse: It's Not Her Job to Interfere....shocking statements

I find it appalling that she would say it is not her job to step in when a kid is being beaten.

PANAMA CITY | A juvenile boot camp nurse charged with killing a 14-year-old boy testified Tuesday that her job did not routinely require her to interfere with the actions of the guards.

Kristin Schmidt said she was only to interfere with the guards, "If I saw something that would cause an injury."

Lady, what the heck is wrong with you. They were beating him. You were standing by and watching.

She says she steps in if injury is likely, and is used to kids faking illness.

Faking illness?? They were beating him!

Schmidt and seven guards from the now-closed Bay County Boot Camp are charged with killing 14-year-old Martin Lee Anderson in a 30-minute altercation captured on a surveillance video of the camp's exercise yard. The video shows the guards hitting, kneeing and dragging Anderson's limp body around the exercise yard as Schmidt watches.

Ashley Benedik, Schmidt's lawyer, asked whether Schmidt was accustomed to youth pretending to be unable run laps and do other exercise.

Schmidt said that was common in her 11 years at the camp.

"Being a rag doll, cannot breathe, 'I have another kind of illness,' there was at least one on every intake day," she said.

Bottom line...the kid is dead while 7 guards beat him. And the nurse stood by because it was not her job to interfere.

Here is the video in case you missed it.
