Tomari’s Story Will Be Told
posted (April 25, 2017)
Six days ago, we told you about how the family of the 14-year-old American Tourist, Tomari Jackson, is suing the Monkey Bay Wildlife Sanctuary for his drowning while he was in Belize back in February 2016.

The Monkey Bay will join the Cobb County School System and the school trip's chaperones as defendants in the lawsuit that Jackson's family will bring. They say that his death on that study trip to Belize could have been prevented, and they are relying on footage captured on a body camera he was wearing at the time of his death.

That footage is a key piece of evidence in the case, and the family has now released it. They say it shows that "there were chaperones…not paying full attention to what was going on."
