PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) - Seven former juvenile boot camp guards and a nurse have been charged with aggravated manslaughter in the death of a boy whose rough handling by the guards was videotaped, a special prosecutor said Tuesday.

Martin Lee Anderson, 14, collapsed on the exercise yard at the Bay County sheriff's camp in Panama City on Jan. 5. Guards said he was uncooperative and refused to continue participating in exercises that were part of the camp's intake processes.

Anderson died early the next morning in Pensacola.

If convicted, the former guards and the nurse who watched the altercation could face up to 30 years in prison.
