This is from a previous link, I simply can’t get over how matter of fact the aunt & uncle seem. Shaking my head over the two conducting concussion tests......
Hearing set to consider trying 14-year-old boy as adult in West Yellowstone homicide
Sasser III reported that he and James got into a “pretty bad fight” during the morning of Feb. 1, after James had escaped “from behind the couch” and Batts lost her temper. Sasser III and James wrestled and exchanged punches, making James cry. A while after the fight, Sasser III said that James "started acting weird" and Batts told him she believed he had consumed alcohol.
On Super Bowl Sunday, the day before James was found dead, the family ate dinner watching the game while James had to stand by the door to the garage, according to Sasser III in court documents. The family had started keeping food from James a couple of months before his death.
Sasser III hit James with the paddle after he left the area by the door, but did not have any other fights that day. He admitted that the paddle broke at the time, but not as a result of hitting James.
James’ 18-year-old aunt, who also lived with the family, said that a fight started on either Saturday night or Sunday morning, after Sasser III touched a heater while he and James were being duct taped together. Sasser III had kicked and punched James in the head about five times after the duct tape was taken off.
She said that Sasser III hit James’ head against the wall and that it dented it. The aunt said that James’ grandparents were present during the fight. The aunt said that James had memory loss and was disoriented after the fight, similar “to how she acted after she had been in a car accident.” She and Sasser Jr. conducted concussion tests on James.
