The families of three Florida high school students who died after being hypnotized by their principal will receive $200,000 each in a lawsuit settlement.
The Sarasota County School District's School Board agreed to the settlement at their meeting Tuesday night.
School board attorney Art Hardy told the Sarasota Herald-Tribune that they are 'just happy to put this behind them.'
The parents of 16-year-old Wesley McKinley, 17-year-old Brittany Palumbo and 16-year-old Marcus Freeman filed the lawsuit against the school district following the back-to-back suicides of McKinley and Palumbo and the car crash that killed Freeman in 2011.
After their deaths, Principal George Kenney admitted that he hypnotized all three victims - including McKinley on the very day that he committed suicide in April 2011. Daily Mail Read More>>>>>>
