A civil liberties group has filed a lawsuit on behalf of a developmentally delayed Black man who suffered permanent brain damage after he reportedly was beaten by four Whites and dumped in an East Texas field.
"We're seeking compensation for serious and permanent brain injury suffered by Billy Ray Johnson at the hands of four White thugs, who received little or no criminal punishment for their actions," said Morris Dees Jr., chief lawyer of the Southern Poverty Law Center.
The men, Christopher Amox, 20, John Wesley "Wes" Owens, 22, Dallas Stone, 19, and James Cory Hicks, 26, have already faced criminal charges in Linden, TX, for the 2003 incident.
