With ankle monitors on, beating suspects practice with Lynn Pop Warner

By Steve Krause / The Daily Item

LYNN - Officials of East Lynn Pop Warner would not comment Tuesday night on reports that at least three of the six juveniles charged in the severe beating of a man in July have been participating in pre-season football practices until their board of directors has a chance to meet tonight.

League president and coach Duke Wilson declined to comment on the reports.

However, at least one parent said yesterday that three of the boys - and possibly more - have taken part in practices while wearing ankle monitors. The six boys were remanded to their parents following a hearing last month.

The victim, Damian Merida, 30, a Guatemalan immigrant, is still in serious condition as a result of the beating.
