recess, but had sleeplessness, vomiting, nightmares, and antisocial behavior. December 21, 1981-
Marshall suffered yet another beating with injuries toward his face, head, back, and legs. January 13,
1982-Marshall was intentionally hit with a snowball containing a heavy object, was mainly wounded
severely while lying on the ground and eventually went into a coma and an intermittent loss of vision
in his right eye and an intermittent loss of hearing. (This info was based on official legal documents
because the Mathers family tried to sue the school board, but lost).

sees a white dot in his right eye from time to time.
